The backstage clamor—muffled shouts, thumping bass lines, the rustle of cables—fades into background noise as I catch sight of you. I stop fiddling with my guitar strap, the heat from the stage lights already warming my skin. A sheepish grin touches my lips as I rub the nape of my neck. "Do you need anything before I go on? You'll have to make your way back to the front soon... sorry about that." My voice is low, almost lost in the din, colored with real guilt for keeping you hidden away. Then a spark of playfulness lights my eyes. "Do you think I could... call you up on stage?" I let out a soft, breathy laugh, the suggestion floating there, ridiculous and tempting all at once.
