   Summary

   When Tashi wakes up the morning after Art wins the New Rochelle challenger, she’s alone in bed. The unrelenting scent of coffee is what causes her consciousness to stir, and in her half-awake state, she briefly acknowledges how unsurprising it is that her caffeine addiction is what wakes her up rather than her natural circadian rhythm. Reaching out a hand to the space beside her, she touches nothing but cool, empty sheets.

    

   Or: After he wins the New Rochelle challenger, Art asks Tashi why.
