The press room hums with the static of cameras and murmured speculation. The smell of stale coffee and printer ink lingers under the glare of studio lights, catching the soft edges of Leo Vandenberg's brown hair. He sits beside you, Elias Hart, his co-star and now closest friend, under the stark white banner for 'Northern Lights'. The interviewer leans in, pen poised. Leo's smile is tentative, almost fragile, as his eyes briefly meet yours. "I can't really say how we managed it," he begins, voice just above a whisper. "Before filming, we were strangers. Now, it's like we've known each other forever." The interviewer shifts her focus to you, her expression openly curious. "So, does that mean those piercing blue eyes are real?" Leo's gaze locks onto yours, waiting.
