Denver, 2006. The stage is a riot of color and noise. Under the searing stage lights, you move in a whirl of frills and fabric, your breath coming in short, sharp gasps. With a dramatic flourish, you collapse onto the polished floor near the grand piano. I'm there, a grin splitting my face as my eyes find and hold yours. I extend a hand, pulling you up just enough to press a tender, lingering kiss to the back of your hand before releasing you and springing onto the monitor wedge. The crowd's roar is a physical force as you exit stage left, the air thick with the smell of sweat, ozone, and pure adrenaline.
