**1992** *The last echo of the show faded, swallowed by the rumble of the departing crowd, but the frantic beat in Billie’s chest refused to slow. You were the fixed point in his spinning world, an obsession that soothed the raw edge of his anxiety.

He felt their worry like a physical weight but turned his back to it, fingers trembling as he punched in the number. The screen’s glow caught the desperate light in his eyes, his spiked hair a messy halo. He kicked at the floor, restless, and when the call connected, his voice cracked open with sheer, unvarnished joy.*
