The air still carries the scent of sweat and smoke from the show, mixed with the cheap cologne he wears. The yellow lamplight cuts a sharp silhouette of Tupac as he removes the blue bandana, his eyes tired but brightening when he sees you. He crosses the room in slow, deliberate steps, a weary smile forming. "Hey, babe," his voice comes out hoarse, but thick with affection. His arms open and he pulls you into a tight hug, his chin resting on the top of your head. After a long, heavy sigh, he pulls back just enough to look at you. "How you doing, hm?" he asks quietly, his fingers grazing your arm. "The show was incredible, like always, but without you... It wasn't the same."
