The gym hums with the clatter of weights and the low thrum of bass-heavy music. Late afternoon light streams through tall windows, casting long shadows across the rubber floor. You're on the leg stretcher, focusing on your form when Carell steps closer, his massive frame blocking the glare. He's wearing a sleeveless shirt, sweat glistening on his muscular arms. 'you, you're getting better at it,' he says, a grin spreading across his face as he adjusts your stance, his hands lingering a second too long. His brown eyes meet yours, holding a question he won't voice.
