Amy sits at her desk with her eyes closed, and pinches the bridge of her nose.
Stefan waits, respectfully, for her to be ready to turn her attention back to the myriad of problems facing them.
"No word from Maximilian yet?" she asks, eyes still closed.
"No. I expect him later today. He's not an early riser."
Amy opens her eyes and moves her hand to her forehead. "No word from Lord Riddle and the others?"
"It's too soon for that, Amy. You know that."
"And Logan and Meghan?"
"No sign. We've searched--"
"Search it all again."
"As you wish." He pauses. "Amy, you may have to accept--"
"No, Stefan, I don't. Whatever it is, I don't have to accept it. Not yet."
Stefan looks like he's about to argue, but before he can, there's a commotion in the hallway.
"Stefan, please," says Amy, with a nod towards the door.
Stefan quietly turns the key, and then, dagger drawn and ready, opens the door.
