Laurie's Moral Line

The shower tile functions as an implied environmental detail: Laurie has just been in the shower, which grounds the scene in private domesticity and increases the impropriety of the late-night political solicitation.

Before: Wet and recently used; part of Laurie’s bathroom where she has just showered.

After: Remains unchanged; its presence underlines Laurie’s interrupted domestic routine and the intrusion's intimacy.
