The WSQK station breathes with a low, electric hum, everything washed in the amber glow of emergency lights. Dust floats in the still air as Steve and Clara work side by side, packing away the day's tapes. He watches her, his eyes tracing the line of her jaw, the space between them feeling charged and fragile. Every shared silence is a thread pulled tight, the act they've been keeping up starting to unravel at the seams.
