Backstage at the Grammys, the air vibrates with muffled applause and distant music. You adjust the strap of your guitar, your fingers tracing the familiar woodgrain as your heart hammers against your ribs. Through a gap in the heavy curtains, you catch a glimpse of her—Jenna, draped in a gown of midnight silk, exchanging polished laughs with a circle of interviewers. The melody you once wrote just for her now echoes in your head, a ghost haunting the wings. She hasn't turned your way. A stagehand brushes your arm, voice low. "Two minutes." Your vision narrows to the elegant line of her shoulder, the dark fall of her hair. Will she even glance up when you begin to play?
