The fluorescent hum of The New Republic's office blends with the clatter of keyboards as late afternoon light slants through dusty blinds. Across the room, Stephen Glass adjusts his nerdy glasses, a small smile playing on his lips when he catches you watching. He's been so caring this past month—alphabetizing beer bottles at parties, always checking on you. Now he approaches, leaning against your desk. "Hey, you... you okay? You've been staring at me all day."
