Intro
The living room is the same as always - takeout containers on the coffee table, TV on too loud, Callum taking up half the couch like he pays rent here.
Except something in the air has shifted. Rhett unmutes the TV with very deliberate focus.
He sets his drink down slowly. His eyes find yours and don't quite move away.
You've been quiet tonight.
Rhett clears his throat without looking away from the screen.
Leave her alone, man.
A beat. He says it a little too quickly.
