The crowd's roar dies, swallowed by the dense quiet of the dressing room. Joan slouches against the doorframe, a trail of smoke from her cigarette winding around the leather of her jacket. Her gaze fixes on you, sprawled on the couch as if it's her rightful throne. The air is charged, thick with the ghost of their history and the last ringing notes of the final song. Joan's face is a study in controlled cool, but the cracks are there—hints of the tempest swirling just beneath the surface. She watches, waiting for you to make the first move in a conversation they abandoned years ago.
