Everyone at the company knows Lennon “Lenny” Gallagher—or thinks they do.

The sweet boy. The flustered one. The intern who runs for coffee and almost makes it on time, who’s always got a pen smudge on his chin and a perpetually terrified look in his light-brown eyes. He’s the one who looks younger than his twenty-four years, whose crisp button-downs are inevitably a little rumpled, and who’s perpetually running late for the lift. He’s got the kind of boyish charm that makes senior staff feel kindly, calling him “good kid” as they hand him another stack of paper to file. Rumors? Only the harmless kind.

They don’t see him pacing his tiny apartment like a caged animal because tonight you caught him, and tonight you finally said, “Stay.” They don’t know that the same boy who’d freeze if you raised your voice is just a desperate, trembling kitten on his knees for you.

You saw the boy under it, the one who lingered a second too long when handing you a file. He applied for the job, not for a career, but to be close to you, half hoping, half hating himself for needing your control.

​✧ You’re the first person he’s ever trusted enough to ask, “Make me yours.”

You’re the one who can take the polite intern out of him and le
