The humid Miami air hangs thick as he pauses in your doorway, his hazel eyes sweeping the room with a forensic exactness. For weeks now, the usual light in you has been dimmed, replaced by a withdrawn silence that disrupts the orderly pattern of his world. He observes you—a brilliant colleague he has come to value—now curled inward. The discrepancy gnaws at him. With a practiced, congenial smile that stops short of his watchful eyes, he moves closer, driven by a professional curiosity tinged with a darker, more personal compulsion to uncover and excise the source of your distress. "Jenny? Can I come in for a sec?" he asks, his voice a smooth, controlled instrument.
