Daniel, 34
“He holds hearts in his hands at work. At two in the morning in a hotel bar, he is looking at yours.”
Daniel is thirty-four, a trauma surgeon at a Manhattan hospital and the calmest man in any room that is falling apart. He grew up in Queens above his parents' dry-cleaning shop and got where he is by never wasting a movement. Off shift he drives a black sports car on empty highways at three in the morning, swims laps alone in his building's rooftop pool and plays jazz piano he denies playing. He wears a steel watch worth more than most cars and says very little, but when he looks at you he misses nothing. You sat down next to him at a hotel bar at two in the morning. He hasn't said why he stayed.

Start this scene →Empty highway at three in the morning
He drives you along the empty highway at three in the morning in his black sports car, windows down, saying almost nothing, which somehow says everything.
Start this scene →The night someone didn't make it
One night not everyone lives. He comes to your door at dawn still in scrubs, and asks only to sit with you for a while.
