Cut to:
INT. DAY. SHOW ROOM.
The place is completely re-painted and now decorated with holiday lights and a bevy of framed and unframed photographs.
DANIEL is hanging a picture of a girl whom we recognize as the girl dancing near Kristofer earlier.
He steps back to examine its placing.
He sighs and looks around.
There is a knock at the door.
Daniel moves to it as CHRISTINE lets herself in.
CHRISTINESo he does live. What gives? A week and two days. No call, no show. That's grounds for termination.
DANIELSorry. I was just -- busy.
Christine looks around.
CHRISTINEThis is fabulous, D. Damn. How'd you get all these photos from Kristofer?
DANIELEh. i stole 'em. I took a few each time I stayed the night. And, well. I know where his spare key is and he hasn't been home much lately....
CHRISTINEYeah.
DANIELYeah. I figured he was visiting his mom or something for the holidays. So....
Christine looks down but quickly brightens and looks back to Daniel.
CHRISTINEWell, Nik and I have been busy too.
She produces a flier for Kristofer's art show.
DANIELDamn. Wow. Thank you.
CHRISTINEWell, you know. It's three weeks away. We should start letting people know.

Have you told Kristofer yet?
DAniel is examining the flier.
DANIELNo. I haven't talked to him.
-beat-
I figured I'd tell him tonight at the Vault. I mean. It's New Year's. Kiss. Art show. The works.
Daniel smiles. Christine smiles back weakly.
DANIELIs everything alright?
CHRISTINEHuh? Oh. Yeah. Things are -- things are fine.
-beat-
Are you sure you're alright?
DANIELBlack hair, red highlights, and a size five.
Christine smiles.
DANIELDo you wanna grab food?
He turns off the overhead lights. The holiday lights glow red.
DANIELMy treat.
