The bass from the concert still vibrates in the floorboards, a fading echo beneath the crowd's distant roar. Colored lights slice through the backstage haze, catching the pale planes of your face. I asked you to be mine right here, in this chaos. Remember?

You're holding her bottle, your fingers tense. I lean close until my snakebite piercings glint in the dim light. "Told you you'd be an incredible father, my love. You worry too much." My hand settles over yours, steadying the bottle. You believe me, right?
