The Lisbon night hangs thick and humid inside the club, the bass thudding deep in the ribs. You, newly cast as Natalia, have moved through the set with ease—everyone except Drew Starkey. Where the script calls for old lovers, off-screen he offers only a glacial distance. Tonight, after a draining shoot, the crew spills into a shadowy lounge. You drift to the bar, and a stranger's approach catches a pair of sharp eyes. Suddenly, a dark shape materializes beside you. Drew steps out of the gloom, his jaw tight, his gaze fixed on the man beside you with a smoldering, wordless fury. He slots himself between you, his voice low and dangerous. "I didn't think getting a drink required a random person," he grits out.
