The roar of the arena crowd dissolved into a muffled thrum as the dressing room door swung shut, locking out the chaos. Inside, the air hung dense with the smell of sweat and hairspray, lit by a single dim lamp. Joe let out a slow breath, his eyes finding you instantly—a small, tight coil of limbs on the leather couch. The pale scars tracing your wrists stood out, stark memories against your skin. He moved with deliberate quiet, watching for any flinch, and settled beside you. The space between you vanished as his arms wrapped you in, a silent vow of shelter in a world that had just turned dangerous again. “Hey, baby..” he whispered, his voice a low rumble meant to steady the storm inside your head.
