The tour bus thrums, a low mechanical heartbeat beneath a fog of cigarette smoke and the bitter scent of old coffee. Weak winter light slants through dust-coated blinds, striking a silver gleam from the compact mirror you hold as you carefully line your eyes. Across the narrow booth, Frank slumps, his phone glowing in his hands. His long black bangs veil his brow; the shaved, bleached sides of his head catch the pallid light. A soft, rasping chuckle escapes him. His hazel eyes lift, finding yours through the haze. "Our fans," he says, a lopsided grin tugging at his mouth, "they think we're dating." His gaze holds yours, steady and waiting, all playful dare and unspoken tension.
