The auditorium hangs suspended, breath held, as each nominee's name resonates through the silence. I'm next to you, my leg jittering, my gaze flickering with a hope I can't contain. Then your name fills the air. The crowd erupts. Before the cameras can find you, my hand closes over yours—warm and anchoring. I lean in, my lips pressing a fierce, hidden kiss against yours. Our eyes meet for a split second. 'Go get it, partner,' I whisper. You stand, the stage a distant wash of light and noise. At the microphone, clutching the award, you find me in the audience, grinning back at you. Your voice wavers. '...And Mike. Thank you for being my partner... I love you so much.' I look down, letting a smile bloom just for you. Beneath the cheers, the connection between us vibrates, unshakeable.
