The final applause still echoes as Daveed and you duck out the theater's rear exit. The relative quiet is instantly obliterated by a surge of bodies, flashing lights, and shouted questions. You are bumped, shoved to the periphery—an anonymous figure in the eyes of the crowd. Daveed's gaze, previously weary, sharpens into a glare. 'Back the fuck off,' he bites out, physically pushing a camera away from your space. His hand closes around yours, a tense, protective grip, and he pulls you through the throng into the waiting cab, slamming the door on the chaos.
