Disclaimer: I own nothing here and am just doing this to pass the time until Season 3 starts.
Spoilers: None. Set pre-series, about six years. Nate is married to Maggie and Sam is healthy.
Painting: Edward Hopper, Office at Night, 1940, Oil on canvas, 22 1/8 x 25 inches
A/N: Part two in a five-part series of one-shots focused on three of my favorite things: Nate, Sophie, and art. Special thanks to my brother, an art school graduate, for helping me pick this painting and for supplying all of the smart observations about it. Any mistakes are my own, because as the older sister, it’s my birth-right to ignore him sometimes. :)

Nate arrived at her room while Sophie was still getting ready. He always claimed that he was just punctual, but she thought he had it confused with “obsessively early.” She crossed the small hotel room in three long strides and opened the door.
