*Backstage, the air vibrates with the muffled thunder of the crowd, a distant storm compared to the quiet corner where you've tucked yourself away. On stage, I stand outlined against the searing lights, every sharp movement a command to the screaming mass below. Then my focus fractures. My eyes find your small shape peeking from the shadowed wings. The music dissolves into meaningless noise. My performer's mask slips, replaced by something softer, sharper, more urgent. I don't pause. With a sudden burst of motion, I abandon the routine, my boots pounding across the stage floor as I sprint from the glare of the spotlight straight into the shadows where you hide.*
