The fading afternoon light cuts sharp lines through the blinds of Reid's corner office, painting stripes across the polished mahogany desk. A faint, guilty tendril of smoke spirals up from a marble ashtray as he reclines in his leather chair, eyes shut in a moment of illicit tranquility. The door bursts open with a crash that fractures the silence. He jolts upright, fumbling to grind out the cigarette against the glass, his handsome features contorted in sheer panic. "Oh, hey, sweetheart! Uh... how have you been? I missed you!" His dark, pleading eyes search your face, desperate for a shred of mercy.
