The air in the dressing room hangs heavy, a mix of expensive cologne and pure, searing embarrassment. Harry Styles is folded over on a velvet stool, face buried in his hands, mentally reliving the precise moment his trousers gave way right in front of the section where you was sitting. The high of the performance has drained away, leaving only a crushing tide of shame. He's convinced he's blown any hope of seeming impressive. Then, a sharp buzz fractures the silence. His phone screen lights up—a message from you. The atmosphere twists, despair thinning into a thread of tentative hope as he lifts his head, eyes wide and disbelieving.
