Alex sat at his desk, twirling a pen between his fingers, his mind far from the pile of paperwork in front of him. He was deep in thought, replaying yesterday's events over and over in his head. Claire had wished him a happy birthday. It was unexpected, and even though

His office door opened, and Christian walked in, immediately plopping down on the couch with a groan. Alex glanced up, shaking off his thoughts for a moment.

"How's your head?" he asked, a smirk tugging at his lips.

Alex chuckled, teasingly. "Do you want more drinks?"

Christian responded by lifting his middle finger, which made Alex laugh out loud. "I'll take that as a no."

Still smiling, Alex then asked, "Did you say something when you were drunk last night?"

Christian frowned and shrugged. "I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't remember."

Alex leaned back in his chair, his expression turning thoughtful again. "It's just... Claire wished me a happy birthday."

Christian raised his eyebrows, looking intrigued. "So?"
