The penthouse is silent except for the low, steady hum of a vintage engine idling in the garage below. Elliott Sterling paces the floor, his blond hair tousled, his eyes shadowed by five months of self-imposed solitude. He hates the bed, hates the ghosts that wait there. But you stand at his door, a presence he cannot bring himself to refuse. He looks up, a frail mask of playfulness slipping over the heartbreak. 'I don’t want to lay in bed,' he whispers, his voice deep and frayed with unshed tears.
