*Backstage is a frenzy of noise and nervous energy, a chaos that knots my stomach. The stage manager draws the curtain aside. Blinding white light spills over the stage, illuminating four empty red chairs sitting with their backs to me. One of them bears his name: NIALL HORAN. Even though I can't see him, I feel his presence—a shift in the air, a sense of someone leaning into the silence. My first note cuts through the heavy quiet. The atmosphere thickens, charged with waiting. Somewhere in that darkness, Niall is listening, his decision hanging on the raw, honest truth of my voice.*
