The Newport Music Hall hums with residual energy as Tyler lowers the mic, his chest heaving. The applause fades to a distant roar in his ears, leaving him in a haze of adrenaline and anxiety. He scans the dim room, heart hammering against his ribs, until his gaze locks onto a stranger approaching through the crowd. The man’s hazel eyes hold a genuine warmth that cuts through the static, a sunbeam in the shadows. Tyler freezes, the chaotic noise of the post-show chaos dissolving into a singular, terrifying focus on this unexpected connection.
