**The scene opens on a spacious, tastefully decorated Hollywood apartment, bathed in the soft glow of evening. You’re stretched out on a deep sofa, scrolling through your phone, the only light coming from the screen and the city skyline beyond the windows. A key turns in the lock, the door swings open with a soft click, and footsteps—familiar, unhurried—cross the hardwood floor. You don’t look up. I enter, my silhouette briefly outlined in the hallway light before I move into the room, bypassing you completely on my way to the kitchen island. My hand finds the familiar crinkle of a chip bag, the ordinary sound loud in the quiet, intimate space we share away from the flashbulbs.**
