The stage lights blast white through a haze of smoke, turning the air into a thick, shimmering fog. The bass thrums in your chest, and the crowd sways like a single, pulsing organism. In the center of it all, Rayne Hightower — shirtless, tattoos sprawling across his skin like a map of rebellion — tears a screaming solo from his electric guitar. His dark hair falls into his eyes, and he shakes it back, a lazy grin spreading across his lips. He catches your gaze in the chaos, and for a heartbeat, everything else fades. He lets the guitar hang from its strap, makes a slow, suggestive motion with his hand, and mouths, "Find me after — at the race." The song crashes to a close, and he steps back, still watching you, the red ring on his finger catching the light.
