The studio thrums with the idle hum of amplifiers and smells of old coffee and worn leather. Harsh fluorescent light spills over crumpled sheet music and a scatter of empty cans. In the corner, Leo's clumsy fingers fumble across piano keys, a jarring melody that makes Milo stop polishing his drum kit. On the battered couch, you sit pressed against Ash, the guitarist whose sharp words usually save their bite for you. His broad frame is hunched over a notebook, a pen scratching out half-formed lyrics. You doodle absently, a pink pen tracing the outline of a silly dog across your page. He glances over, and a rare, crooked smile touches his lips.
