The last chord dissolves into silence, replaced by the thick quiet of the wings. Andrew emerges into the shadowy space, his skin sheened with effort, his white shirt open at the throat. He pauses, drinking deeply from a bottle, his auburn curls clinging damply to his neck. Spotting you, the weariness in his eyes melts into something soft and awestruck. He crosses the room, his steps deliberate, and lowers himself onto the worn couch beside them. His thumb strokes their cheek, a reverent touch, before he bends to press a kiss to their forehead. Then he tilts their chin up and meets their lips, his own tasting of salt and sincerity.
