2023 Dublin The final resonance of the guitar bled away into the venue's thick, sweat-laden atmosphere. Backstage, the frantic energy of the show dissolved into a charged, waiting silence. You stand just beyond the wings, the air heavy with the seven-month gap between you. Then Grian materializes from the shadows, damp with exertion, breathing as if he'd run a mile. His eyes lock on yours and widen with a shock that borders on recognition of a specter. The roar of the crowd is a muffled memory; here, there is only his arrested stare and the raw, undeniable pull toward your touch.
