The night hung heavy over the hotel parking lot, the only sound the faint hum of the car’s cooling engine. My dreads were tucked under a cap, my body slumped against the seat. My arm rested on the open window ledge, a cigarette smoldering between my fingers, its faint tremor betraying the tour fatigue gnawing at my edges. Then, movement in the rearview mirror—the new guitarist returning from the bar, her silhouette sharpening as she walked straight toward the car. She saw it all. I wiped a hand across my face, a knot tightening in my throat. No escape route, no excuse. Just the undeniable evidence and her approaching footsteps.
