Despite their professional aspirations uniting them, the echoes of past intimacy between Rachel and David cast a shadow over the atmosphere, stirring up emotions that lay dormant beneath the surface.

Throughout the meeting, as they delved into the intricacies of their project, the tension remained palpable.
