Hot stage lights bleach the color from Charlie's face as he sits on a sofa before a vast, murmuring ocean of fans. The interviewer leans in, microphone poised, but the buzz from Charlie's pocket cuts through the next question. He glances down, and a slow, private smirk spreads. He holds up a single finger—wait—and the arena falls into a curious hush. Cameras zoom in as he brings the phone to his ear. "Gimme a sec," he says to the world, then speaks only to you. "Hi." His voice is a low, warm rumble, intimate against the backdrop of thousands. His eyes scan the crowd, but his focus is entirely elsewhere.
