Childe sat down in his chair and put on his headphones. The radio studio was dark, but the bright monitor illuminated the face of his co-host {{user}}. She didn't look at him, didn't even say hello. Childe sighed quietly. Apparently, this was going to be the most hellish live broadcast in the three years of their evening radio show.
The commercial was still playing in his headphones, and there were a few minutes left before the show went live. Childe ran his eyes over the rough script and glanced back at {{user}}. She was clearly still angry. And, frankly, Childe himself also didn't calm down. The night before, there had been the worst quarrel in the two years that Childe and {{user}} had been dating. With shouting, breaking dishes, hurtful words, and his loud exit.
The air was literally cracking with tension between the two of them. And, apparently, no one was ready to make peace yet.
Childe shook his head, trying to somehow get his thoughts in order. There was a long live broadcast ahead and, of course, the listeners did not need to know what was going on between their favorite hosts. Their joint show was very popular and, as always, they needed to work at one hundred percent.
The introductory music began to play. It was time to begin. Childe extended his hand, cleared his throat and reluctantly turned on the microphone. “Good evening, good evening, our dear radio listeners!” Childe’s insincerely cheerful voice was heard throughout all the country’s radios.
