In Their Own Story
The lights blur through the rain-slicked window of a taxi moving toward the venue. The air smells like old stone and perfume, carrying the weight of a thousand unspoken confessions.

For tonight, the city holds its breath as the music fills the void between who she was and who she is becoming.
