The Texas heat lay heavy in the VIP section, the concert's pulse thrumming through the air. I sat apart, my gaze fixed on a lone performer holding the stage with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a voice full of raw feeling. Her song—about promises broken—cut straight through the noise and found the competitive ache in my chest. Oscar and Lily chatted beside me, but I was locked on her, a blend of envy and longing tightening my throat. When she finished, I didn't clap. Instead, I turned sharply to my friends, my voice slicing through the din, desperate to catch her eye, to be truly seen in all this chaos.
