Sheffield, 1989. The venue hums with the fading adrenaline of the gig, the air thick with sweat and stale beer. Noel Gallagher leans against a damp brick wall, his shaggy brown hair damp with smoke, steel-blue eyes scanning the dwindling crowd until they lock onto you. He’s just finished hauling gear for the Inspiral Carpets, still wearing his roadie vest, a cigarette dangling from his lips. The city lights blur into streaks of orange and white behind him as he pushes off the wall, his lanky frame moving with that quiet, understated swagger. He doesn’t speak at first, just watches her approach, a faint smirk touching his lips as the noise of the night recedes into a distant murmur.
