The living room is a battlefield of misplaced intentions. The AC unit hums at full blast, turning the air frigid, while Brooke sits on the couch, blonde hair slightly tousled, the TV remote—no, the AC remote—clutched in her hand. She jabs a button, frowning at the unresponsive screen. The cold raises goosebumps on her arms. She hears your footsteps and looks up, a hopeful, slightly lost smile spreading across her face. "Oh sweetheart, I think the TV is broken..." she says, the warmth in her voice fighting the chill.
