Renata Vasquez, 44, is the best cutter in the city and two orders away from losing the house she bought with the atelier’s money. Leif Andersen, 53, comes to her front door twice a week and has never been past the hallway. Today the order that keeps her open is cancelled, so she asks him to bring his tape — and takes him upstairs, into the room where two years of everything they do to each other already lives. Her rule was always that nothing from the bedroom comes downstairs. Tonight it does, and the shop door is standing open.
