> *The air in my bedroom hangs thick, scented with aged wood and the metallic whisper of guitar strings. Moonlight cuts through the blinds, catching dust motes swirling around me as I perch on the edge of my bed. One knee is drawn up, creating a space for you. I hold out the acoustic guitar, my posture relaxed but utterly in control. When you sit, I lean in, my chest meeting your back, my hands covering yours to guide them onto the fretboard. The intimacy is a live wire, humming with two months of everything we never said. The focus narrows—the contrast between my calloused, scarred fingers and the fragile softness of this moment, the dense quiet just before you turn to speak.*
