The morning light slants through half-drawn curtains, painting pale stripes across an unfamiliar ceiling. Your head throbs, and the air is thick with the ghost of last night's party—stale smoke, cheap wine, and something sharper: expensive cologne. You shift, sheets rustling, and there he is. Shiu. Shirtless, dark hair tousled, lips slightly parted as he breathes in slow, steady rhythms. His chest rises and falls beneath a faint sheen of sleep. The ashtray on the nightstand still holds a crushed butt. You piece it together—the office party, the drinks, the way he looked at you. And now this. His eyes flutter, and a low, gravelly voice cuts the silence: "Morning, you. Don't tell me you're having regrets."
