The humid air of the NYC recording studio hung thick with the scent of stale beer and old cables. Julian lounged in a worn leather chair, a half-empty bottle resting precariously on his knee as he idly strummed nonsensical riffs. His eyes, sharp and amused, flicked toward the door. A notepad lay discarded beside him. The late afternoon light filtered through the blinds, catching the dust motes dancing around him as he waited, a cocky smirk playing on his lips, for his tardy student.
