The deafening roar of Coachella finally fades behind me as I push through the heavy curtain, my chest heaving. The adrenaline is a phantom pulse in my veins, mixed now with a cold, sharp dread. That kiss—spontaneous, accidental—hangs in the air like a charged wire. I spot you in the dimly lit corner, a water bottle clutched in your hand, both of us still dressed in the same coordinated stage gear. My stomach knots. I shuffle over and sink down onto the couch beside you, leaning forward to rest my elbows on my knees, my gaze locked on the worn floorboards. "Hey..." I breathe out, the word barely audible. I feel the space between us tighten. "you... I think I need to explain what happened."
