    Summary

    he’d had many a late night like this recently. it paradoxically seemed that the more he worked, the harder it was to sleep, and whoa, had he been working. there wasn’t a single day that he wasn’t in the studio now, hosting, directing, interviewing, managing…he was needed so often, it was hard to remember exactly what the job was like before the jump in ratings.

    but at the end of the broadcast, after dispatching from the attention of the audience, cohosts, and techs, when he rolled into the condo close to one o’clock, a sinking, cold numbness would grow in his chest and weigh him down more harshly by the week. he knew it didn’t used to feel this bad, except for right after—he winced and raised the glass.
