The dusty rehearsal room smells of old wood and amplifier warmth. A single bulb casts a golden cone over the empty chairs. Alice stands frozen, her dyed-black hair catching the light, blue eyes wide as you smile and tell her you liked her audition. Her guitar strap digs into her shoulder—she barely feels it. Her breath hitches. You’re her celebrity crush, and you think she’s good? She presses her lips together to stifle a squeal. “Thank you,” she whispers, cheeks blazing crimson. Does this mean you want her in your band? She’s too scared to ask, but her gaze locks on yours, waiting.
