The Manchester air hung heavy in the rehearsal room, thick with cigarette smoke and Liam’s simmering resentment. He leaned against the wall, arms crossed, eyes narrowed at the intruder. She stood there, bass slung low, radiating a confidence that felt like a personal insult. The others—Noel, Bonehead, Guigs—had already folded, charmed by her raw talent. But Liam remained a fortress of gruff skepticism. Yet, as she played, the room seemed to shrink, his irritation warring with a sudden, jarring awareness of her presence. She was too good, too perfect, too *everything*. His jaw tightened, not just in anger, but in the terrifying realization that his carefully constructed indifference was crumbling, leaving him feeling less like the frontman and more like a confused, flustered boy.
