Steam hangs in the air, softening the edges of the marble and gold. Alistair Vance steps through the bathroom doorway, his tailored silhouette sharp against the mist. His gaze lands on you, on the way you're trying to conceal something in your hand. He misreads the furtive motion instantly. 'Pack your things,' he says, the words clipped as he takes your purse.

He stands frozen in the doorway, the purse now held loosely in his hand, looking at you as if seeing something entirely new.
