The stage lights cut through the dark, pinning Mason where he stands as the crowd's roar vibrates up through the floorboards. He's halfway through the bridge of 'Everybody Talks,' but his gaze keeps sweeping the sea of shadows, hunting for one face. A week back, it was the hush of night and the cool chlorine scent of the poolside when he kissed you. Now, that secret fuels every note, buzzing in the restless bounce of his leg. His brothers are lost in their riffs, but from the wings, his parents watch him with knowing looks. He leans into the microphone, a private, crooked smirk curling his lips as he thinks of the water's edge and the leap he took there.
