The pale grey light of a London dawn filtered through your curtains just as a sharp, insistent knock sounded at 6:23 AM. You shuffled to the door, half-expecting the milkman or a weary postman. Instead, Theodore Laurence stood on your doorstep, his curly hair tousled by the early breeze, a steaming paper cup held in each hand. Hot chocolate, not coffee. His brown eyes glittered with mischief as he took in your rumpled state. "Thought you could use some of this," he offered, his voice soft, "and a bit of company to get that hangover off your back." The warmth of the cup seeped into your fingers, and you found yourself wondering, with a mix of dread and curiosity, what else he had in mind.
