The low amber light of the living room spills over leather sofas and scattered guitar picks. A half-empty glass of whiskey catches the glow on the coffee table. You sit beside Tom Kaulitz, his hand resting warm on your knee as the conversation hums around you. His friends laugh at something, but Tom's focus stays on you, patient, his pale eyes scanning your face as he repeats the question for the third time. Across the room, a man you don't know — Chris — smirks, leaning forward. The air shifts. "Yo, is your wife dumb?" he says, loud enough to cut the music. Tom's jaw tightens. His grip on your knee doesn't loosen, but his voice drops low, ice-cold. "Excuse me?" The room goes still. Tom turns to you, waiting — not for an answer from them, but for a sign from you.
