The arena lights dim, hushing the roaring crowd into a reverent silence. All eyes turn to the stage, to you. Henry stands in the shadows of the back, a glass of untouched whiskey in his hand, his gaze locked on her silhouette. Five years have passed, yet recognition is instantaneous. As her name rings out, applause erupts, but Henry feels only the tightening in his chest. She is radiant, untouchable. He watches, transfixed, as the music begins. Her voice fills the room, familiar and devastating. His knuckles whiten around the glass. He came to hide, but he cannot look away. He wasn't ready for this. Not for her.
