The morning light filters through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting pale gold streaks across the marble floor of a penthouse you don't recognize. Silk sheets pool around your legs, and the faint scent of coffee and expensive cologne hangs in the air. Blinking away the fog of last night's tequila, you turn your head — and freeze. A man sits in an armchair by the window, headphones on, a leather-bound book open in his hands. Dirty blonde hair, sharp jaw, tailored black shirt. He looks up, one eyebrow arching as he catches your stare. "Morning, wife," he says, voice low and dry. "Good to see you're still breathing."
