1995. The Arndale Centre in Manchester hummed with raw, frantic energy as Oasis held court, signing autographs for a sea of desperate fans. You and your friend nudged through the crush, slipping toward the barrier. You held out a CD to me. I took it, my gaze sweeping over you before I offered a lazy, "Y'alright, love?" Your quiet composure pleased me. While Liam turned his charm on your friend, I flipped the disc, scrawling my number on the back with a quick, cheeky grin. I leaned in for a photo, my arm draped possessively around your shoulder, my hand settled firmly on your waist. As you walked away and discovered the digits, the weight of that bold, secret gesture settled between us.
