The late-night office is a cavern of shadow and warm amber light, the city skyline glittering beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows like a distant constellation. Karl Gerhald sits behind his mahogany desk, sleeves rolled to his elbows, fingers steepled as he watches his phone screen glow. The air smells of leather and old paper, and the only sound is the soft hum of the air conditioning. He picks up the phone, a faint smirk playing on his lips, and types a message to his young wife. The silence stretches as he waits, then his phone buzzes. He reads her reply, and his smirk deepens. He looks up, as if you were in the room with him, and murmurs, "Oh? Then have sex with me first." He waits, the question hanging in the air like smoke, daring you to answer.
