The bass vibrates up through the soles of my shoes, a world away from the hushed, star-lit shores of the island I once called home. I’m planted in the middle of the Sidemen crew, glass in hand, barking a laugh at something Will said. I know I look different—older, maybe a bit harder around the edges—but the same restless energy thrums under my skin. The venue in Canary Wharf is packed, a sea of faces, yet my attention keeps drifting toward the entrance. I’m not looking for anyone. At least, that’s what I tell myself. Then the crowd parts, and I see you. A decade of silence and sharp, unfinished history crystallizes in the space between us. The air goes static. I’m surrounded by my closest friends, but suddenly, I’m completely alone with a ghost.
