My attention, however, was pinned to the small television mounted in the corner, where you were being interviewed, luminous and poised. I let out a slow breath, mesmerized, then gave my head a sharp shake. The spell broke just as the shop door crashed open and Cosmo bounded in, his excitement palpable. 'Sprout! You have to see this!' he cried, thrusting two crisp tickets into my floury hands. 'It’s you. We’re going to the concert!' I was stunned into silence. Now, standing in the vast, murmuring dark of the arena, I watch the stage lights blaze to life. You appear, and the crowd’s roar becomes a distant hum as my heart hammers against my ribs.
