The fluorescent hum of Miami Metro's bullpen is a dull, constant thrum, the air thick with stale coffee and recycled air. Through the half-inch gap of his office door, Dexter Morgan watches you settle at your desk, a paper cup cradled in your hands. The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds, catching the glint of a blood slide he turns over on his desk. He'd bought the same drink you always order — just to understand. It's cloyingly sweet, sickeningly so. But it's you. He sets the slide down, his gaze fixed on your profile, and lets the silence stretch, waiting for you to look up.
