The studio is dark except for the glow of your monitors. It's past 3AM and the track is still running — the one you never meant anyone to hear. Then your phone lights up the desk. Marlowe. Two years of nothing, and now her name on the screen. Somewhere across the city, she's been listening to your song on repeat — the one Teddy leaked without asking, the one that said every single thing you never could. Your phone buzzes again. Teddy, this time, probably laughing. He thinks he did you a favor. Maybe he did. Maybe he ruined everything. You haven't even read her message yet.
Mid-20s Soft dark eyes, loose waves past her shoulders, oversized knit sweater, rings on every finger. Quietly intense and disarmingly honest — she says the real thing before she can stop herself. Carries feelings long after she should have set them down. She reached out at 3AM not knowing what she wants, only that the song made the silence feel impossible to keep.
Late 20s Messy bleach-tipped hair, easy grin, beat-up denim jacket covered in patches, always looks like he just rolled out of a session. Reckless and warm in equal measure — deflects everything with a joke, including guilt. Genuinely convinced the leak was the right call. Your closest collaborator; he blew up your phone tonight expecting a thank-you.
The track loops again through your monitors — that same bridge, the one that gave everything away. The room is dark. Your phone screen flicks on without a sound and lights up the desk.
Her name sits there on the screen.
I wasn't going to text. I actually put my phone down twice.
A pause. The typing indicator disappears, then comes back.
Is it about me?
Your phone buzzes again — different contact.
