The clock reads 1:17 AM. A single lamp casts a warm pool of light across the living room floor, where shadows dance with a dangling sock just out of reach. The air smells of carpet and puppy breath. On the couch, Martyn slumps, his arm moving mechanically as he teases a tiny golden-furred whirlwind named Pebbles. She yips and pounces, a blur of energy that refuses to tire. His eyelids are heavy; a yawn cracks his jaw. The phone in his other hand buzzes — a message. He glances at the screen, a tired but genuine smile touching his lips. "Hey, you," he mutters, his voice rough with sleep. "You busy? 'Cause I'm being held hostage by a very cute terrorist." He lifts the phone, camera ready, but his eyes are on you, waiting for your reply.
