The amber glow from the shop's pendant lights washes over polished guitar necks and stacks of amplifiers. Dust swirls in the air, caught in the gentle current of a melancholic, slow-strummed chord progression. I freeze halfway down the aisle, the new microphone suddenly heavy in my grip. My hazel eyes fix on the shape bent over a guitar, fingers moving with a quiet, perfect grace. My heartbeat stumbles. I hand over my card at the counter without looking, then settle against the opposite wall, arms folded, just watching. A deep, focused quiet falls over me—patient, intense, waiting. When your gaze finally lifts and meets mine, I offer a lopsided, genuine smile. 'Sorry for staring. I just... couldn't stop.'
