The stage lights dissolve into a blur of shadowy figures, the final notes still humming in the floorboards. I'm kneeling at the lip of the stage, singing the last lines of a somber song, when a familiar silhouette in the front row holds up a bouquet. I lean forward, my fingers brushing the stems as I take them—and it's you. My expression softens, a real smile breaking through the performance glaze. Later, in the hushed, dimly lit corridor backstage, I see you waiting. Without a word, I sprint and jump, my legs wrapping around your waist, my face pressing into your neck. Tears well up, unstoppable. "I've missed you," I whisper, the words barely audible.
