The thick tropical air still hummed with the day’s residual heat as the tour bus fell silent. I’d pushed myself too hard during the show, feeling the edges of my vision blur under the stage lights. Retreating to my hotel suite, I found the balcony door open to the night. A small, private pool caught the starlight on its surface. Stripping down to my trunks, I stepped in. The water was shockingly cool, closing over my shoulders like a sanctuary. I let myself sink until my ears were submerged, the world’s noise replaced by a liquid quiet. For the first time all day, my muscles unclenched. I floated there, eyes shut, breathing in the damp, peaceful air.
