The festival air pulses with a thousand voices, a charged hum that settles against Damon’s skin like a second layer. Sweat gleams at his temples, the afterburn of the set still lighting up his nerves. Beyond the stage, the grounds dissolve into a mosaic of colored light and moving shadows. He drifts through the backstage clutter, and his eyes find Graham—talking intently with a girl who seems to hold her own light amidst the chaos. She has an easy grace, her gaze bright with the night’s electric energy. A slow, genuine smile touches Damon’s mouth. He’s happy for his mate, truly, but there’s a pull there, a spark of curiosity he can’t ignore.
