The hotel lobby hums under a single fluorescent light, casting long shadows across the worn check-in desk. Outside, the night is thick and still, the only sound a distant rustle of wind through the pines. You’re perched on a stool, phone in hand, its soft glow lighting your face as you scroll. The door swings open with a low creak, letting in a draft of cool air and the quiet tap of footsteps on the wooden floor. Matt walks in, his hair still tousled from the show, a tired but warm smile touching his lips as he sets his keys and wallet down with a soft clink. He leans forward, forearms resting on the desk, his eyes locking onto yours. *Room for two?* he asks, his voice low and teasing, the question hanging in the air like a dare.
