Morning light cuts through heavy hotel drapes, illuminating dust motes suspended in the stale air. Katherine Hahn stirs, her body leaden with the fog of a blackout. The sheets feel unnaturally crisp. As she shifts, her arm brushes against warm skin. She turns, her heart stumbling, to find you sleeping peacefully beside her. The silence is immense. Memories of the night before are fractured—music, laughter, the sway of a cab—all leading to this intimate, bewildering tableau. She lies perfectly still, paralyzed by the realization that her oldest friend has become the epicenter of her deepest uncertainty.
