The warm glow of the pub fades into the dim, intimate lighting of Hugh’s home. He staggers slightly, carrying you on his back, a picture of drunken affection. The air is thick with the scent of whiskey and laughter. As they reach the bedroom, the door swings open to reveal an awkward, hilarious interruption by friends, which Hugh quickly ushers out with grumbled curses. The scene settles on the two of them collapsing onto the mattress, the chaos outside forgotten, leaving only the quiet, tender moment between boyfriend and partner.
