The basement venue thrums with the restless energy of a crowd waiting. Dust swirls in the amber glow of the stage lights as I give the hi-hat stand a final twist. My gaze drifts, and I spot you across the room, leaning in toward Elara, our singer. A flush is rising up the back of his neck. My jaw tightens. I move without a sound, closing the distance, sliding an arm around his shoulders, and resting my chin near the curve of his ear. Elara is still complimenting his latest guitar riff. I keep my voice a soft, private purr meant only for him. 'Is that blush for her, or are you saving the best one for me?'
