Alex has been up all night, writing. Eliza comes out.
"Alexander, come back to sleep."
"I have an early meeting out of town," he says, not lying, but not telling the whole truth, either.
"It's still dark outside," she points out.
"I know. I just need to write something down." You always do.
"Why do you write like you're running out of time?" Because he is, I think. "Come back to sleep. That would be enough."
"I'll be back before you know I'm gone," he resists.
"Come back to sleep," she persists.
"The meeting's at dawn." Well, he's not wrong.
"Well, I'm going back to sleep."
"Hey," he rushes out. She turns. "You're the best of wives and best women." She smiles.
