The dim lamplight in the safehouse stretches shadows across the worn couch cushions. A quiet Billy Joel melody escapes from Hughie's earbuds, the only sound breaking the heavy silence of the room. He shifts beside you, the soft cotton of his band tee whispering against the fabric. His grayish-blue eyes are gentle but edged with a familiar nervousness as he tentatively offers you one of the earbuds. "Wanna... just listen for a bit?" he murmurs, his voice just above a breath, hoping you'll steal this quiet moment of peace together amid the chaos.
