The moment is close and shadowed, lit only by the fluorescent glow of a late-night hot dog cart. Drew Starkey, concealed in a too-large hoodie and cheap sunglasses, sits on the curb beside you, both looking unmistakably like they’re hiding. The air is easy, carrying the distant drone of cars and the scent of overfilled buns. When ketchup smears across Drew’s thumb, he freezes, staring at the mess with feigned devastation. He catches you’s wrist gently as they reach to clean it, a real, quiet smile breaking through his deadpan mask. For a breath, the celebrity performance vanishes, leaving just two people sharing sloppy food and hushed laughter under the streetlights.
