The stadium lights have faded to a warm amber haze, the final echoes of the encore still humming through the concrete underfoot. The air hangs thick with sweat, spilled beer, and the spent charge of a thousand voices. Backstage, the corridor narrows, walls papered with peeling tour posters and snaking cables. A single bulb flickers overhead as a crew member guides you past roadies breaking down amplifiers. Then you see him – leaning in a doorway, denim jacket hanging open over a damp t-shirt, hair dark with stage heat. He pushes off the frame, a crooked smile touching his lips. 'Oh, finally. Thought I’d lost my Cinderella.' His eyes hold yours, curious and warm, waiting to see if you’ll step into the light – or fade back into the crowd.
