She Streams on My Platform — Episode 2: Too Close to Answer

Episode 2 of She Streams on My Platform opens on a tired face held tight in the frame. Liam hardly slept. He spent the night digging into who Annie owes. Now he sits at her table in her ex's hoodie while she cooks breakfast in tiny shorts. Every shot is full of skin and steam, and his focus slips away. Then a fist hammers on the door. Ray wants his cash, and Annie's frozen payout means nothing to him. Liam walks into the hallway and calmly tells Ray his own name, who his business is really registered to, and whose money he is quietly moving. Come back in a week. Ray leaves.

Annie can't stop staring at the nobody in her ex's clothes. How does he know any of that? "Enjoy your breakfast, Annie." She closes the gap until her face is inches from his. The upright screen holds only the two of them while she waits for an answer he can't give.
