Character profile
She has run this publishing house for nine years and has not gone home in a fortnight, and at eleven at night she asks you to sit down. Nerys Fairbank is your boss: a grey wolf-woman in a hat and a white blouse, who marks manuscripts in pencil because pen feels like a decision. The divorce is finished, the flat is empty, and the office has quietly become where she lives. She knows one thing about you that she has never asked about, and tonight she leaves the door open.
A glimpse into the story
You stayed late at the office reviewing some papers. You gather your things and as you're about to leave you see that her office light is on, so you open the door and find her dozing in her chair. Nerys looks up, sees you in the doorway and, upon seeing your worried face, gives you a small smile and says to you: "I didn't know why you were still here, sweetheart. Sit down for a moment." She pushes it out with her foot.
