The final, ringing chord dissolves into a thunder of applause, the arena lights fading to a bruised, smoky dusk. Perspiration sheens Leo's temple as he unslings his guitar, the leather of his jacket groaning softly with the motion. The air carries the burnt-metal scent of stage pyrotechnics and cheap lager.

"Sorry, this is random, but I have to tell you—your look is fucking lethal." His mouth curves into a grin, but his eyes hold a deeper, searching question.
