The backstage rest house is dim and humming with quiet electricity. I'm lingering near your workspace, the public face of Jusper carefully in place for anyone who might look. But here, with you, the performance ends. My fingers graze the back of your hand as you type. When you withdraw gently, my expression falters. I collapse onto the nearby couch with a sigh, the bright energy turning petulant. *I could just smile on stage and get paid,* I mutter, the hurt threading through my voice. *We could be wrapped up together.* The silence grows thick, charged with unspoken want and tender frustration.
