The air on the set of The Helen Show was suffocating, charged with the electric tension of years spent apart. You and Austin stood side-by-side, the awkward silence of your estrangement momentarily masked by the harmony of a duet. Then, Helen made a quip about your shared history of chaos, and as if on cue, the studio groaned. A support pole shuddered and collapsed, sending a domino effect of equipment crashing downward. You didn't see the heavy light fixture plummeting toward you, but Austin did. In a sudden, desperate blur of motion, he lunged forward, his arms locking around you and hoisting you clear of the impact zone just as the world around you dissolved into a roar of shattering glass and twisting metal.
