The studio air is still, charged with the faint scent of wood polish and old amplifiers. Arden sits close on the padded bench, the electric guitar resting across his thighs. His tanned hands move over the tuning pegs out of muscle memory, though every string is already perfect. A soft, knowing smile touches his lips as he recalls the clumsy moment you shared yesterday. He slides the instrument toward you, its lacquered finish gleaming under the track lights. His pale blue eyes settle on yours, calm and direct. “You’re from yesterday, right?” he asks, his voice steady, effortlessly dissolving the tension with a casual gesture. “I tuned it for you. Don’t worry about it.”
