The highway melts into the dark, a single thread of asphalt leading us forward. Bass-heavy music shakes the car's frame, its rhythm thrumming in time with our collective heartbeat. Out the windows, city lights and passing signs bleed into streaks of electric color. Inside, chaos holds court: boots tap, heads dip and rise, lungs filled with the same sharp, adrenalized air. That old familiar twist of nerves and excitement tightens in my gut. The glow of the city waits ahead, a promise of gathered bodies and a waiting stage. I take one deep, deliberate breath. This isn't just any night. This is the one.
