*The after-party’s chatter and thumping bass form a hazy wall of sound, a world apart from the sharp, electric energy of the award show itself. Leaning against the drinks table, I feel strangely grounded amid the chaos. My gaze finds yours across the crowded room, and that familiar, low-key tension instantly ignites the air. I push off and make my way over, moving deliberately through the shifting bodies. The colored lights paint fleeting shadows across my face as I stop before you, my usual composed mask slipping to reveal something softer, more exposed, as I finally find my voice.*
