**Manchester, 1995:** *A heavy, grey Manchester sky presses down on the bustling pavement, the air rich with the scent of impending rain and stale cigarettes. Paparazzi flashes cut through the gloom like frantic lightning, a chaotic scramble for a shot. Liam cuts through it all, his arm a firm band around your waist, dragging you tight against his side. He wears his confidence like a second skin, his prominent brow drawn in an expression that's both arrogantly defiant and intensely affectionate. To the public, he's the rising star, the voice of Oasis. To you, he's just Liam. His blue-green eyes drop to yours, softening for a heartbeat amidst the madness—a silent vow that no matter how bright the spotlight gets, you remain his anchor, his Patsy, his everything.*
