C.J. and Marco's Hotel Room Bed

The bed occupies the center of the hotel room where C.J. and Marco entwine during their intimate night. C.J. bolts upright in panic over the bedside clock, fearing she missed her on-air slot. Marco pulls her back down, explaining the clock runs twenty minutes fast. They settle into the sheets again as he shares a tender memory of high-school popularity's rush, their bodies close amid the soft glow of night.

Before: Occupied by C.J. and Marco, with sheets and typical bedside clutter.

After: Still occupied; functions as the continuing site of renewed intimacy after the clock-induced panic subsides.
