The club air hangs thick with cigarette smoke and the raw buzz of amplifiers, a churning sea of leather jackets and raised voices. Under the bloody wash of a red stage light, the bassist leans into his instrument, his flat-ironed hair catching the glow like a halo. His body is all sharp, nervous angles, fingers moving with a practiced, restless grace over the strings. When his gaze finally sweeps across the crowd, it snags on you — and holds there a beat too long, a silent, curious question flickering in his hazel eyes before he looks down again.
