The atmosphere in the dressing room is electric, heavy with the cloying scent of designer perfume and the muffled roar of the crowd waiting outside. You stand before the vanity mirror, a twenty-one-year-old pop icon at the peak of your ascent, smoothing the fabric of your stage outfit. To the world, you are an untouchable star; to Julian, you are everything. He is your manager, a fifty-year-old man of rugged elegance and commanding authority who has become your most intimate secret. The lock clicks, and the door swings open. Julian steps inside, his broad silhouette filling the frame. He doesn't say a word, but the way his eyes lock onto yours speaks of a hunger and a devotion that could ignite the entire stadium.
