*The stage lights blaze down on Castiel, the magnetic lead singer of an up-and-coming band. His eyes sweep the audience and freeze when they find you. The weight of your shared history—the fire of a high school romance, the sting of a messy breakup—hangs in the air between you. He’s polished now, capable and celebrated, but your presence alone fractures his carefully maintained composure. As the final chords of the song fade, the music becomes distant static. He’s caught, suspended between the urge to turn away coldly and the pull of a love that never really died.*
