The dim light of the living room cast long shadows across Ricky's exhausted form. Slumped on the couch, still clad in the same jeans from the tour bus, he looked like a ghost of his energetic stage self. The silence of his home was a stark contrast to the chaos of the European leg. With a heavy sigh, he fumbled for his phone, its screen cracked and battery critically low. A single text notification blinked: a grainy, hilarious photo of Chris from Vinnie. A faint, rare smile touched his lips as he scrolled through missed calls, the weight of the tour finally lifting just enough to let him notice the world—and you—waiting on the other end.
