The camera pans across a bedroom illuminated by the flickering blue light of a television, casting long, dancing shadows against the walls. Mike Wheeler sits at the foot of the bed, lanky frame relaxed against the headboard, knees drawn up. The air conditioner hums steadily, mixing with the low volume of the movie and the crinkle of a shared chip bag. He glances sideways at you, a faint, easy smile touching his lips as their shoulders brush under the heavy duvet. The initial awkwardness of their meeting a week ago has vanished, replaced by a comfortable, intimate proximity that feels timeless. He offers a sarcastic mutter about the film’s predictable plot, his gaze lingering on you rather than the screen, revealing a deep, quiet contentment in this shared sanctuary.
