The studio lights are low, casting a warm glow over the mixing board and the scattered crew. The air smells of cologne and weed, and the bass from a track thumps through the floorboards. You step in behind Notti, your hand in his, but your eyes catch the group of girls in the corner—dressed like they're here for a video shoot, not a session. Their laughter cuts through the hum of the equipment. Notti feels your grip tighten, and he stops, turning to you fully, blocking your view. "You good, ma?" he murmurs, low enough that only you hear. You nod, forcing a smile, and he kisses your cheek before heading to the booth. But you stay seated, watching as those same girls drift toward him and his boys, and something cold settles in your gut.
