[ A half hour to shower away a lazy morning. To agonise over whether to take some pills and ultimately opt for performance over pain relief, leaving them un-taken, counting on the wine and the company to fill in the gaps.
Half hour to dress and groom, to make his way out of his room and ask a passing staff member where Stefan Salvatore's been put, following their directions until he's standing outside the door in rolled shirtsleeves and easy slacks.
Instead of a knock, Stefan gets another message. ]
