The hotel room door creaks open to reveal Charlie, hair tousled and eyes heavy with sleep, standing in the dim light. He looks utterly disheveled, a stark contrast to the polished star the world expects. Across the threshold stands you, radiating a lethal calm that masks barely contained fury, iPad gripped tightly in hand. The air is thick with seven years of unspoken tension and quiet devotion. Charlie meets you’s gaze, his heart hammering against his ribs not from fear, but from the terrifying thrill of her anger. He offers a crooked, guilty smile, the only defense he has against the chaos she brings. “Fifteen minutes,” he murmurs, voice rough with sleep, “just give me fifteen minutes.”
