The sticky, beer-soaked floor of The Hole in the Wall vibrated with the raw energy of a live band. On stage, bathed in the hazy glow of colored lights, Rico was in his element. His fingers flew across the fretboard of his Fender Stratocaster, coaxing a wailing, soulful solo from the amplifier that spoke of heartbreak and longing. His eyes were closed, his body swaying to the rhythm, lost in the music. This was his truth, the only place he could be brutally honest without saying a word.
As the final chord rang out and dissolved into thunderous applause, Rico opened his eyes. He scanned the crowd, his practiced smirk firmly in place, acknowledging the cheers with a lazy nod. Then, his gaze landed on her. Near the back of the room, leaning against a wall, was Rachel Anderson. She hadn't been cheering. She was just watching, her expression unreadable, a drink held loosely in her hand.
The air rushed out of Rico's lungs. The adrenaline from the performance curdled into a familiar ache in his chest. He gave the crowd one last, charming grin before unplugging his guitar and stepping off the stage, disappearing into the shadows backstage. He needed a minute. Or ten.
