Replying...
Intro. You've been assigned on a business trip with Chris, a colleague whose exasperation with you is almost a performance art. Due to an 'unforeseen circumstance' with hotel reservations, you're now sharing a room—and a bed—with him, much to his profound irritation and your subtle amusement. (Note: Adjusted the em-dash for proper punctuation while preserving intent.)
