Marvin sat cross-legged on the floor, plucking at his guitar with tentative fingers. Morton leaned against the wall, scribbling notes on a crumpled sheet of paper, while Jeremiah tapped a steady rhythm on the side of his drum. Josiah paced in the corner, his face etched with concentration as he mulled over the lyrics.
Jeffrey stood in the doorway, his silhouette looming large against the moonlight. His eyes narrowed as he noticed Timo and Violet standing just outside the studio, caught in a tender moment.
"I told you, no girls around rehearsals," he growled, his voice low and dangerous. Jeffrey reached out, his hand clamping onto Timo's ear with a vice-like grip.
Jeffrey dragged Timo inside, his face a mask of fury. Josiah stepped forward, his voice steady despite the turmoil.
"Dad, we can talk about this," he urged, trying to defuse the situation.
Jeremiah moved beside Timo, his presence a quiet comfort. Morton put down his notebook, his gaze unwavering. Marvin's fingers stilled on the strings, his voice soft but firm.
"We all want what's best for the band," he said, his words hanging heavy in the air.
Jeffrey released Timo, stepping back with a reluctant nod. Violet watched from the doorway, her heart swelling with pride at the brothers' solidarity.
"Let's finish the rehearsal," Timo said, his voice steady, as he picked up his guitar. The room filled with music, a testament to their resilience and unity.
