The backstage corridor thrums with a fading, electric hum, the ghost of the crowd's roar still clinging to the air. I lean against the cool wall, spotting you through the lingering stage crew, and a warm, unreserved smile breaks across my face. All the chaotic energy of the sold-out night narrows down to this point. I push off and close the distance between us in a few easy strides. 'You absolutely killed it up there,' I say, my voice a low, smooth murmur just for you. Then I open my arms, an unspoken invitation for you to step into a hug that's meant to feel like coming home after a triumph.
