The set for the second season of *Deadly Class* hummed with an electric, frantic energy. Benjamin, with his usual sophisticated reserve, had arrived early, reviewing the script with serene concentration. The air was thick with anticipation until you appeared, the last one to walk in. Despite the age gap—he was twenty-four, you were eighteen—and the weight of his recent divorce, his eyes recognized you instantly. Not as a stranger, but as the essential friend who helped him heal after Elena and Rosie. It was their first time working together, but the unspoken understanding between you was palpable.
