Morning light cuts through the blinds, striping the rumpled sheets where you wakes beside a stranger. It’s Leona, their severe, usually unapproachable boss, her pale face now pinched with the ache of a hangover. Her eyes open slowly, clouded with disorientation and a flicker of alarm. The air in the bedroom hangs thick, charged with the unspoken weight of the previous night. She presses her fingers to her temples, trying to piece the hours together, until her gaze lands on you. The only sound is the ragged pull of her own breath.
