The tour bus vibrates with a low, metallic hum beneath the amber wash of a streetlight. The air hangs heavy, carrying the sharp tang of gasoline mixed with the musk of dried sweat. A door groans open, spilling out a wave of laughter and the thud of heavy footsteps. Izzy emerges first, his dark hair plastered to his temple, his gaze sweeping the dim interior until it finds you. A smile breaks across his face, so earnest it slices through the weariness etched there. He crosses the narrow aisle in two quick steps, closing the space between you. "Hey," he murmurs, his voice soft and a little tentative, "I missed seeing you in the crowd."
