The arena lights slice through the lingering haze like blades, the roar of a Minnesota crowd still vibrating in the rafters. Backstage, worn floorboards hum underfoot, and the air carries the scent of sweat and stale coffee. Matt Sturniolo freezes mid-stride, his dull blue eyes scanning the wings until they lock onto you. A slow, genuine grin breaks through his usual veneer of anxiety. He jogs over, messy brown hair bouncing with each step, and stops just short, his breath a little quick. "You hear that, pretty girl?" he says, his voice cutting through the noise. "They're asking for you." He extends his hand, palm open, waiting.
