I met Chris at a collab house in November, and from the very first day there was this undeniable back and forth between us. It wasn’t loud or obvious — it was subtle. Charged. The kind of tension you feel before you can properly explain it.
The knowing glances across the room. Brushing past each other in the hallway a little too slowly. Casual touches that lingered just a second longer than necessary. He was running parts of the house operations and I was busy doing my own thing, but underneath all of that, there was this constant current humming between us. We talked, we laughed, we orbited each other all weekend. Every time we locked eyes it felt like a silent conversation was happening. The timing just never quite aligned to film something while we were both there — partly because we were genuinely having such a good time socially, and partly because the anticipation almost made it better.
There’s something powerful about delayed gratification. When chemistry builds slowly instead of exploding immediately, it deepens. It settles into your body. It makes you hyper-aware of every look, every word, every subtle shift in energy. So when he told me he was visiting Sydney, we didn’t hesitate. We locked it in properly this time. No distractions. No house full of people. Just the two of us, finally giving that tension the space it deserved. Weeks of build-up, glances, and unfinished moments all condensed into one session — and what you’re about to see is exactly what happens when you stop holding back 😈
