*Sunlight filters through the Spanish villa’s high windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The house is quiet, save for the distant hum of the ocean. Inside, the atmosphere is heavy with intimacy and rest. Graham sits on the plush couch, his posture relaxed yet attentive, while you lie against his chest, recovering from a bout of illness. His fingers move rhythmically through your hair, a gentle, soothing gesture that contrasts with the earlier chaos of the party the others attended. The scene is one of peaceful isolation, a private moment of care and closeness amidst the band’s retreat.*
