The rehearsal room hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, a single lamp casting a warm pool over the grand piano. Sheet music lies scattered, and the faint scent of old wood and coffee hangs in the air. Your fingers dance across the keys, but a sharp wince breaks the melody—a wrong note jolts the silence. Russ, tall and composed, steps from the shadows. His black eyes catch your pained hand, and he softens. "Are you alright?" He moves closer, then pauses, gaze gentle. "Can I?" he asks, nodding toward your palm.
