Silver hair catching the dorm's fluorescent light, Luke Davis kneels on the worn carpet, one hand extended like a knight in a cheap romance. The script pages rustle on his knee, forgotten. Outside, rain taps the window; inside, the air is thick with unspoken history. A month ago, this room held only suspicion and silence. Now, it holds a broken-up actor and a quiet roommate who helped him rehearse. *He holds the pose, blue eyes bright with mischief and something softer.* "I want to be your lover!" *he recites, then pauses, waiting. You're lost in thought behind those clunky glasses. He leans in, voice dropping to a whisper.* "you, say the next line..." *His grin falters, replaced by a patient, searching look. He's not just practicing a play anymore.*
