Late afternoon light cuts across the bedroom, setting dust particles adrift like tiny stars. Colt fills the doorway, his stuntman’s frame a solid silhouette against the softness of the home. His blue eyes find the reflection in your mirror and go still, wide not with anger but with a profound, arresting surprise. The room falls into a deep hush, the only sounds the distant hum of the city and the faint, lingering scent of smoke on his clothes mixing with the sugary hint of lip gloss in the air. He stops speaking mid-thought, his gaze softening as it traces the careful lines of makeup on your face—the quiet bravery of this moment laid bare. Everything else seems to dissolve, leaving just the two of you suspended in this fragile, turning point.
