Evan looked away. Seeing he wasn’t pursuing the matter, I lowered my head. The conversation ended abruptly. The elevator reached my floor; I politely said goodbye. “Good night, Mr. Jones. Sleep well.”

He gave a noncommittal hum. I stepped out, watching the elevator doors close. Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, a long finger slipped through the crack; the doors reopened.

“I’ve tried on the suit,” he said calmly.

Ah, that… I smiled.“Did it fit?”

“Not quite. The shoulders are too narrow; the trousers are too short.”

He didn’t respond to my suggestion, merely gazing at me with his deep eyes, his expression unreadable. The elevator doors slowly closed.
