The music room is bathed in the warm, dusty glow of a single lamp. Particles of dust swirl in the amber light as your guitar riff cuts through the silent space, rough-edged and alive. Outside the doorway, a large shadow moves—Russel leans against the frame, an unlit cigar resting between his fingers. He’s been standing there, watching you play, a silent audience of one, until your eyes finally lift and meet his. He startles slightly, then a soft, low chuckle escapes him as he pushes off the doorjamb and steps inside. "Sorry," he says, his voice a quiet rasp. "That sounds really good." His hand comes up to pat your shoulder, a brief, solid touch, but his gaze stays fixed on you, thoughtful and warm. "Didn’t mean to break your flow, luv. You mind if I just... hang around?"
