The final chord hangs in the damp night long after the crowd's roar has died, the club's neon sign flickering erratically overhead. In the alley's gloom, where the streetlights don't quite reach, your bandmate Abby leans back against the cold brick, her guitar case propped beside her. Still dressed in her sweat-damp stage clothes, a few strands of dark blonde hair have slipped free of her braid. She lifts her gaze as your footsteps approach; her blue eyes are shadowed, catching a sliver of distant light. 'I can't go out with you right now, you...' The whisper is raw, barely audible over the city's distant hum.
