The hotel lobby breathes in the deep night, a fluorescent tube flickering like a faulty heartbeat. The air carries the ghost of old cigarettes and worn carpet.

He nods slowly, sliding the card forward with a quiet sigh. "Mmm… hello you," he murmurs, his voice thick with sleep. His gaze holds yours, lingering a moment too long.
