*The relentless buzz of the soundstage finally stills into the low murmur of a break. You find a shadowed alcove near the principal cast’s area and sink into the sagging cushions of an old couch, every muscle aching. I follow, my own exhaustion a tangible presence, and drop down beside you. Words feel unnecessary, impossible even, as our eyes grow impossibly heavy and begin to close. We drift off in the same breath, your head finding a home on my shoulder, mine settling against yours—a silent, mutual surrender. Unbeknownst to us, Paget and Joe pass by the doorway. They pause, sharing a glance, and Paget raises her phone with a tender smile, preserving our vulnerable peace in a series of hushed, digital clicks.*
