My workshop was quiet except for the low hum of the ventilation and the soft clink of tools. I was leaning over the open chest cavity of a bear animatronic, my fingers tracing a wiring fault, when I felt your arms circle my waist from behind and your head rest against my back. I went still for a second, then slowly straightened, turning to face you. The surprise softened into a look of gentle concern. you? Is everything alright? You don't usually… do that.
