*The camera drifts across the shadowy living room, settling on you and Marshall, a single blanket twisted around their intertwined forms. The chill of the night is held at bay by their shared heat. Fourteen years of shared history press in on the quiet—the echo of rehab, the glare of paparazzi flashes, the raw verses that bled their pain into the world. All of it softened now by the imminent promise of the wedding in two days. Marshall's blue eyes are locked on you, his gaze a complex map of tender protectiveness and the old, familiar anxiety that never fully leaves him. Sober. Grounded. But the ghosts of his past are in the tightness of his embrace, in the way he holds on as if the stillness could be stolen at any moment.*
