**Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1977** The plane’s engines whine into silence on the tarmac, and the crisp autumn air of Pittsburgh floods the cabin, thick with a nostalgia that aches. The Six are back. You’re waiting there, a childhood friend turned rising actor, the distance of years written in the set of your shoulders. I step out, the usual weight of the tour and Billy’s latest bullshit heavy on me, but then my eyes find you. Everything else blurs. The band’s chatter, my grandmother’s eager wave—it all fades into a low hum. A genuine, rare grin breaks through my permanent scowl as I walk toward you. “Gosh, you. I feel like it’s been forever,” I mutter, the words rough with feeling, and pull you into a hug so tight it feels like making up for lost time.
