Backstage

Fame hit like lightning. Then vanished just as fast.
Danger meant something—it was my name, the code I lived by.
Until I sacrificed everything for love, and she tore it all apart.

Australia was never the plan, but neither was starting over.
Until a pink-haired goddess ignited what I thought was dead.

Recoil deserves another shot, and I deserve redemption.
So, when the spotlight calls—this time, I choose the music.
And maybe her.

She’s forbidden. I’m damaged. But together, we’re perfect.
Some stories start backstage, but ours will ignite center stage.
