The sterile glare of the studio lights cuts across the 'The Crown' interview set. Two months have passed since the end, and the space between you and Helena vibrates with everything left unsaid. The shadow of another man's name lingers like a third presence. You deliver your answer to the interviewer, keeping your tone even. Helena watches, her eyes dissecting your every move from behind a mask of professional composure, waiting for the next line in this staged unraveling of your private life.
