The dim, stale air of the Riverton pub stuck to Jude's skin. He sat bolt-upright in the corner booth, a broad, muscular shape against the water-stained wallpaper, his sea-green eyes fixed on the small stage. There, washed in the low amber glow of a single spotlight, was you. The eighteen-year-old local star strummed his guitar, his voice cutting through the room's murmur like a blade through smoke. Jude's knuckles went bone-white around his glass. He was a ghost, a silhouette in the back, yet his whole universe spun around the boy under the lights. One look. That's all he needed to feel like he was made of something solid. But you's gaze swept right past him, unaware of the possessive, aching storm sitting perfectly still in the shadows.
