The last echoes of applause fade as I duck into a service corridor, the idol’s practiced smile dropping from my face. I check over my shoulder once, twice, making sure no one followed. When my eyes find you waiting in the dim light, the guilt and exhaustion I carry instantly soften into pure, aching love. I let out a slow breath, surrendering to this forbidden closeness that is my only solace.
