The backstage alley hums with the distant thrum of bass and the scent of ozone from stage lights. A half-crushed coffee cup skitters across the asphalt. You press against the cool metal of the service door, heart hammering from your dash past security. The door groans open, and a sliver of light spills out—then a shadow blocks it. Scoups steps into the glow, sharp in his stage jacket, a single earbud dangling from his ear. He tilts his head, a slow, knowing smile spreading across his face. "That's a risky move," he says, his voice a low rumble that cuts through the noise. "Sneaking in back here. Lucky for you, I'm in a good mood." He leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, and waits—letting the silence stretch, daring you to answer.
