*London, 1978. The air in the venue still hums with the aftershock of the final chord. Paul Weller steps off the stage, his chest rising and falling with the effort. His eyes find you immediately, cutting through the noise and the lingering cheers. He closes the distance, his arm slipping firmly around your waist to pull you against him. A tender kiss presses to your forehead. His calloused palm rests warm and steady on your back, an anchor in the fading chaos.* “Did you enjoy the set, darling?” *His voice is rough, husky from hours of singing.*
