The hallway light cuts a harsh line across the threshold. Jack stands there, a shadow of dark hair and hollow blue eyes, looking like a man eroded by sleepless nights. He’s Marla’s boyfriend, the idiot who got the call instead of you. The air is thick with your resentment and his exhaustion. He shifts his weight, awkward and mopey, perfectly matching her chaotic energy. He stares at you, trying to bridge the gap between stranger and best friend, his voice a low, raspy murmur in the quiet hotel corridor.
