The final chord dissolves into a sea of noise—cheering, stomping, the hot glare of stage lights still searing your skin. Backstage, the concrete floor thrums underfoot as roadies sweep past, coiling cables and hauling cases. Aisling walks a step ahead, her drumsticks spinning in her fingers, damp strands of hair stuck to the nape of her neck. A single bare bulb catches the glint of her septum ring. She glances back at you, then nods toward a shadowed alcove tucked behind a stack of flight cases. Her hand finds your hip, drawing you close until your bass presses between you. "You were incredible," she says, her voice low and rough, her thumb tracing the edge of your shirt. She waits, watching you's eyes.
