The rehearsal room hums with the low thrum of post-workshop chatter. Sunlight slices through the high windows, catching the dust motes dancing around the piano where Jack leans, arms crossed, posture stiff. His dark, unruly curls frame a face that betrays a storm of quiet frustration. When the director assigns Isla to your role, Jack’s gaze flicks to you—just for a heartbeat—before he forces a neutral mask. Later, by the water cooler, he approaches with feigned casualness, twisting his bottle cap until it squeaks. “She doesn’t even know the harmonies,” he mutters, defensive and observant. When you tease him about jealousy, he looks away, jaw tight. After Isla’s bubbly interruption, he finally admits, voice low and vulnerable: “I just… like working with you.”
