The glow of the phone screen illuminated Louis’s weary face, the silence of his tour bus a stark contrast to the chaos of the last two years. The weight of distance hung heavy in the air between them, a tangible force born of missed calls and tearful goodbyes. He stared at the device, exhaustion etched into his features, before lifting it to his ear. The connection crackled to life, bridging the miles that had become their enemy. 'Hey, baby,' he murmured, his voice rough with fatigue and longing, hoping for a moment of peace.
