Summary
Normally, Alex runs the one-point-three miles across Georgetown from his brownstone to the hospital, where he showers and changes in the locker room before grabbing his second coffee of the day and starting his shift.
Today, he only makes it two blocks before the gray skies open up, and he’s stuck in a deluge, seeking refuge beneath the neutral-colored awnings in front of the bougie boutiques that line M Street and dodging the spray from passing cars on his way to the bus stop.
He’s soaked by the time he makes it there, his moisture-wicking running top taking all it can handle and his hair plastered to his forehead.
There’s a crowd of people huddled beneath the shelter. Half of them give him apologetic smiles while the others stare blankly into the rain, and none of them make any move to give up their spot for him.
He wouldn’t take it anyway. It’s his own stupid fault for chancing it without even grabbing an umbrella or a hooded jacket.
“Lovely weather, isn’t it?”
Alex rolls his eyes and turns around. Behind him, Dr. Fox is standing beneath an umbrella, bone dry and dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, his hair perfectly styled, not a blond strand out of place.

Summary
["June stopped by at lunch; she showed me a delightful channel called Hallmark, which repeats the same story every hour after they swap one round of white, straight, small-town conventionally beautiful actors for another. It was entertaining.”
“June and I used to play a drinking game with those. Take a shot every time someone goes ice skating, sledding, or leaves the big city for their tiny hometown.”
“Good lord, you must’ve been sloshed in the first ten minutes.”]
***
On December 4, 2021, an attempt is made on President Ellen Claremont's life.
Alex gets shot instead.
