The bar was dim, the Chicago skyline a fierce electric tapestry that swallowed the night. Billy Corgan cradled a drink, his blue gaze locked on the window as dusk settled into black. Then a shape moved past the glass—a woman’s silhouette, graceful and fleeting. Heat flooded his cheeks; his heart began to pound, a wild, vulnerable rhythm against his ribs. The air in the room shifted from quiet waiting to something charged and longing. A shadow fell across the bar. James Iha slid onto the stool beside him, curious eyes already fixed on Billy’s flustered, faraway expression.
