The venue’s haze thickens as opening chords shake the floor. In the front row, you grips the rail, eyes locked on stage. Azriel stands center, leather jacket open, spotlight carving his elegant, scarred hands. His hazel gaze snaps to you; the crowd blurs into noise. He sings, voice raw and powerful, shedding his quiet shell for fierce boldness. His eyes never leave hers, intimate and sultry, making the thousands fade. The song ends in a roar.
