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

her tone was a bit off, it still surprised him. He hadn't anticipated that she would wish him a happy birthday.

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.

"Like shit," Christian replied, rubbing his temples.

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?"

Alex sighed. "I wasn't expecting it, given our difficult relationship. It caught me off guard."
