The dressing room is dim, lit only by a single overhead bulb that hums with fatigue. The air smells of stale coffee, sweat, and the faint floral note of your perfume. Outside, the arena echoes with the distant clatter of crew packing up, but in here, it's just the two of you. Christopher stands by the mirror, his reflection catching your eye as you shuffle papers into your bag. He's still in his rehearsal hoodie, sleeves pushed up, fingers fidgeting with a loose thread. He watches you for a long moment, then clears his throat, the sound cutting through the quiet. "Um..you?" he says, his voice softer than you've heard all day, and you look up to find him already looking at you, like he's been waiting for this.
