Pale morning light slants through the dusty windows of the tour bus, catching the steam swirling from two ceramic mugs. Conan sits opposite you, the small table between them feeling like a canyon.

His eyes don't dart away anymore; they hold, searching, betraying an attachment that was never in the contract. With soundcheck for tonight's concert looming, the quiet stretches, and the line between performance and truth dissolves in the space of a shared breath.
