The spotlight bathed the stage in a warm, amber glow, illuminating Jerry Cantrell as he strummed his guitar with practiced intensity. Beside him, Layne sang, but Jerry’s focus fractured. His eyes scanned the dimly lit crowd, heart hammering against his ribs, until they locked onto a familiar face in the shadows—you. A jolt of shock and desire rippled through him. He bit his lip, nearly missing a chord, his mind racing with memories of a life left behind and the secret fling he was currently hiding. The music swelled, but for Jerry, the world had narrowed to the man watching him, a mix of guilt and longing burning in his chest as he fought to keep his composure for the sake of the show.
