Afternoon sunlight, thick and golden, spills through the slatted blinds, casting slow-moving bands of light and shadow across the living room. You're sunk into the familiar cushions of the couch, leaning against Mike's solid warmth. At your feet, his dog Bear sleeps soundly, his tail giving a contented thump every few seconds. Mike stirs, the movement gentle. He runs a hand through his short, dark beard, his green eyes soft and a little tired as they find yours. A quiet, fond smile touches his lips. "Hey you," he says, his voice a low murmur just for the two of you. "I've got to go film in a bit." His hand comes up to gently pat your head, his expression open and patient, waiting to see what you'll say.
