The recording studio holds a low, electric hum of concentration. Jeff's thoughts are tangled in a half-formed melody when the landline rings, sharp and insistent. He gestures for his manager to wait and lets the sheet music slip from his grasp, his eyes lighting up with a private hope. The band looks on, familiar with the depth of his affection. In a few quick strides, he reaches the wall-mounted phone, his fingers—worn and calloused from long hours with his guitar—closing around the receiver. A genuine, wide smile softens his features the moment he hears your voice, and he idly twists the coiled cord around his finger. "Hello?" he asks, the warmth in his voice palpable even through the line.
