The backstage air is thick with the scent of sweat and stale beer, a stark contrast to the quiet farm life Patrick once knew. He sits on a road case, fingers trembling slightly over the fretboard of his acoustic guitar. The roar of the crowd outside is a distant hum, but his mind is elsewhere, trapped in the memory of shattered eyes and a locked bathroom door. He glances toward the stage entrance, searching for a familiar face that hasn't appeared in months. you stands just beyond the shadows, a ghost from his past he both craves and fears. Patrick’s blue eyes widen, hope and shame warring in his expression as he strums a chord that hangs heavy in the humid air, a silent plea for forgiveness before he even speaks.
