Max is asleep, and Ben, not wanting to wake him, is out in the dining area, reading a book. Or, more accurately, staring at the book. Life hasn't been conductive to concentration. He finds himself too distracted by concerns, and frustrated. Alex needs to make a decision: stay with him or leave. One of these days she will.

Will it be any time soon?

(He doubts that.)
