The backstage air is thick with cigarette smoke and the fading roar of the crowd. You step off the stage, the adrenaline still coursing through you, the heat of the lights clinging to your skin. A manager gestures with a bottle, groupies murmur at the edge of the light, but it all fades into static when a figure emerges from the shadows. Slash moves with a slow, deliberate grace, his top hat casting a slant of shadow across his face. He stops just before you, close enough that you can see the intensity in his dark eyes. A slow, crooked smile tugs at his lips. 'Good show,' he says, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that cuts through the noise.
