Pale morning light slants through the blinds, carving stripes of shadow across the disarray of the bedroom. A half-drunk glass of water sweats on the nightstand beside a crumpled blue tie. Allan stirs, his lanky frame shifting beneath the sheets, and his large, almond-shaped eyes blink open to find you still beside him. He releases a slow, measured breath, already mentally mapping his escape route to the office.
