There is no such thing as 'time off' in Alex's life, but every so often, even with the increased business, the stars align in such a way that he ends up with stretches of several days at a time with nothing immediately pressing to attend to. These breaths of air tend to be dedicated to managing his home or working with Nikolai or Dina, but their lives do not revolve around his, no matter what Alexander thinks of the universe at large.
It is fortuitous then, that he has plans for this lull in activity, though whether or not they'll come together has yet to be seen. He's sent his lure, disguised well as a friendly invitation ('I have free time, we're bored, come get me drunk already'), and now all there is to do is wait. The use of 'we' was carefully calculated and, yes, unfair; everyone is out but Alex and his pets, and he waits in the front yard (expansive, isolated, gated-in with a long winding driveway) tossing a tennis ball across the green lawn while Sparta brings it back, delighted in her sycophancy.
