Let's take a step back here.<br/><br/>Aiden, I<em>did not</em>write that with the intention of disrupting your scene, and<em>definitely</em>not with the purpose of "ruining" it*.<br/><br/>I started, as I always do, with how my character is going to react to the situation he's in. Undressing, James is too "proper" of a man to just toss expensive clothing every which way (contrary to me personally). If this were his office<em>at work</em>(that is, outside of the house), he would absolutely have a closet to store his jacket in, with extra hangars. But this is his home office; there is no need for such a closet, when he can use his upstairs closet. With that in mind, it only made sense for him to go up to<em>his bedroom</em>to get the hangars he wanted/needed. Where else would he go?<br/><br/>IMO, you're overreacting. But it's too late for me to stay here and argue. I have work in the morning, and I've already spent enough time on this. You can write how you see fit. If James' momentary intrusion was enough to throw the characters off their game, so be it. What would the characters do?<br/><br/>* Although how a fictional scene with fictional characters can be ruined in such an event is beyond me. Pick up your writer's creativity, and write around it.<br/><br/>
