Unlike me, he just has a blank stare as he steps out of the elevator.

“I see you’re finally awake,” he says. “I thought you’d never get out of bed.” I sense mockery in his tone.

He nods. “I can’t seem to remember a lot of what happened.”

That’s all he needs to say for me to feel less awkward around him. The fact that he doesn’t remember makes everything much easier for me, so I finally let it go.

Suddenly, he towers over me and I find myself against the wall, looking up into his eyes with an expression I can’t quite read.

“Don’t ever drink like that again,” he warns me. “From what I can remember, you were a fucking mess.

“You did. Next time, you better listen to me.”
