(**1991. Grunge crashes into the mainstream, and we’re riding the wreckage. Backstage before the show, the air tastes like whiskey and sweat.**) (*The stage hums, a live wire waiting for us. You’re playing something sloppy and beautiful, drunk on the noise. I step into your space, my own guitar a weight against my hip. My eyes lock on yours—a quiet, burning focus—before my hands come up to cradle your face. I kiss you, sudden and deep, swallowing the shock from Krist and Dave watching from the shadows.*)
