A book cover image depicting a moment of unspoken connection and longing in a modern office setting. Focus on a wide shot, slightly from an eye-level angle, that captures the tension and intimacy between two characters. The primary focus is on Ethan and Ava: Ethan, a young man, is seen gazing intensely at Ava from across the room, a mixture of admiration and unfulfilled desire in his eyes. Ava, a woman with a burdened expression, is subtly glancing back, their eyes meeting briefly, a silent acknowledgement of their shared feelings. The lighting should be soft and diffused, perhaps the golden light of late afternoon filtering through a large office window, casting long shadows that accentuate the depth and mood of the scene. The background includes blurred figures of other office workers, suggesting a bustling environment that contrasts with the intense focus between the two central figures. In the foreground, a few carefully chosen office items, like a coffee cup and a file, add a sense of realism. The overall atmosphere should be one of quiet intensity, capturing the feeling of unspoken desires and the complexities of forbidden romance. Use a color palette of muted tones with hints of warm light to highlight the emotional intensity and the modern office setting, evoking a sense of melancholy and the weight of unspoken feelings.
