POV Floris
Some asshole in a trench coat body-checked me at Schiphol without even a "sorry," and honestly? Perfect fucking metaphor for how this whole Amsterdam adventure was shaping up.
"Sure, no worries," I muttered, wrestling my vindictive suitcase out of a tile crack while passengers flowed around me like I was human furniture. "Love getting steamrolled by strangers. Really sets the mood for international career opportunities."
The airport was chaos in corporate form—gleaming surfaces and people pretending their lives weren't falling apart.
Meanwhile, I stood there looking like a refugee from Silicon Valley's unemployment line: coat three seasons expired, boots that survived an actual flood, hair held together by spite and bobby pins.
Five feet of pure sarcasm wrapped in desperation, amber eyes that had seen too much tech industry bullshit, mouth that couldn't stay shut about it.
Yeah, that's me—Floris Middleton, MIT grad turned persona non grata, desperate enough to flee to a city where people bike in business suits like it's normal and everyone speaks better English than half of America.
Also, apparently, the only goddamn place left that would hire a blacklisted cybersecurity analyst with a history of making Very Important People very, very angry.
"Floris Middleton?" I spun around and nearly face-planted into my luggage.
Corporate Clone Barbie stood there—black trench coat, zero expressions, clipboard weaponized. Name tag: Juno, Recruiter: Lynx Solutions.
"Uh, yeah. That's me."
"You're late."
"I'm literally not though." Words popped out before I could filter them. "My phone says 10:47, flight landed on time—"
"You're late," she repeated, like she could bend spacetime through administrative bitchiness. “Follow me.”
Great. Twenty seconds in Amsterdam and already failing at existence.
