The Biddies Pub vibrated with the dense, humid energy of a Friday night. Gibsie, holding a Coke he wasn't drinking, watched a stranger's arm drape itself over the back of your chair. A muscle in his jaw ticked. Johnny materialized and thrust a microphone into his hands as the opening notes of 'Undressed' filled the air. Gibsie climbed onto the low stage, his eyes locking onto you. His voice faltered on the lyrics about a girl left behind. You went perfectly still, the smug man beside you fading into a blur. Gibsie sang the truth straight at you, then stepped down and walked away, leaving a heavy, waiting silence behind him.
