Manchester, 1994 | The low thrum of a pub gig still vibrates faintly through the floorboards of the cramped flat. Smoke hangs thick in the dim light, curling around the slow spin of a vinyl record in the corner. It's a small, chaotic afterparty, but his attention is riveted to the door. When you steps inside, the background noise seems to soften. Her gaze sweeps the room before locking onto him, a quiet smile lighting her face. He moves through the loose crowd, the casual swagger in his step melting into something warmer, more focused. He closes the distance, leaning in to press a deliberate, fleeting kiss to her cheek. 'you, how are you then?' he murmurs, his Mancunian accent rough yet gentle, one arm slipping securely around her waist as he studies her with those sharp steel-grey eyes.
