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.

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?"
