The neon buzz of the nineties club dimmed into a low hum as Liam Gallagher's figure cut through the haze, swathed in an oversized parka, aviators perched on his nose. His eyes swept the room with that trademark defiant sneer until they landed squarely on you. The air between them tightened—the heir to a Beatles legacy facing down the Oasis frontman. Liam's piercing blue eyes narrowed, then flashed with a sudden, mocking recognition. —Do I know you? he drawled, the thick Manchester accent rolling off his tongue. A crooked, utterly arrogant smile cracked his face. —Well, well! You're Macca's kid? He let out a loud, unapologetic chuckle. —Not bad… So, you here to lecture me about your dad? Still not my cup of tea. Too refined.
