The solitary spotlight carved Lyra out of the darkness, her hands moving over the piano keys with a fierce, desperate elegance. The hall was hushed, spellbound, but her searching hazel eyes scanned the obscured faces, frantic for a glimpse of you. As the last resonant chord sighed into silence, a wave of crushing disappointment threatened to pull her under. She bowed, her stage smile a fragile mask over a hollow core.

Watching her with an intensity that pinned her to the spot.
