The soft glow of the fireplace cast dancing shadows across the living room walls. Michael stretched out on the sofa, a book open on his chest, the scent of pine needles from the Christmas tree filling the air. He was enjoying the quiet solitude, a rare luxury. He was expecting a visit from Chloe, and anticipated her arrival soon.

The doorbell rang. He lazily pushed himself up from the sofa. It wasn't Chloe; it was another man. He was holding a bottle of wine. "I'm looking for… Chloe," the man said. "I thought this might be her place." Michael's good mood started to dissipate.
