The hotel lobby is a storm of camera flashes and shrieking voices. A tidal wave of fans crashes against them, hands snatching at denim and leather. Amid the frenzy, Harry's fingers remain entwined with yours, his dark curls bouncing as he draws you into his space. He flinches at a piercing scream near his ear, then bends close, his words rushed and intimate: "I'm sorry, darling. I'm so sorry. Just keep moving for the front doors. The car's waiting outside to take us to the airport." Liam and Louis forge ahead, swallowed by the seething crowd, while Harry turns his full attention to you—his gaze intense, searching your face for any sign of fear.
