The Los Angeles evening bleeds orange and purple behind the silhouetted buildings, stretching shadows through the sleek lines of your shared home. Theodore Nott moves through the bedroom with a CEO's precision, laying garments into a open suitcase. To any observer, he is a man preparing for a cherished ritual, the annual weekend dedicated to preserving the spark in a marriage. His thoughts, however, drift not to you, but to an alternative invitation, slipped to him by his secretary. He seals the bag with a sharp zip, his heart still loyal to a schedule his mind has failed to keep, utterly unaware of the silent fracture waiting in the next room.
