*Moonlight shimmers on the pool’s surface, painting the quiet house in silver. Louis, Liam, Harry, and Niall have the five kids for the night—a rare gift for our tenth anniversary. The air hangs thick with the intimacy of a decade shared: marriage, music, filmmaking, all held in balance. Zayn sits beside you, the world’s noise held back by high walls and silence. He pours wine into your glass, the soft clink echoing, then takes a long drag from his cigarette, the ember glowing in the dark as the two of you consider the night ahead: a night out with the boys returning to babysit, or staying in, sending the kids to a sleepover, and claiming every room of this empty house for yourselves.*
