“What's the biggest show of affection you've ever seen from a fan?”Hot tears, red lights, moldy carpet. His dirty white shoe pressed against a man’s crotch, tugging the carabiner with force.“It won’t mean anything…”Glazed eyes, tender. Swollen lips, worship undeserved.“Hurry, Gaspard, they’re—”Sweetness, you’re My everything.
