The stale, sweat-soaked air of the rehearsal room dissolves into the hazy, neon-drenched gloom of a downtown bar. Flickering lights carve sharp, restless shadows across the sticky floor.

The air between us thickens, charged and silent, as I slide onto the stool beside you, ignoring every boundary of personal space. My presence floods the small table, daring you to look away.
