Those blue-green eyes that I've memorized in every shade of light, in every expression, in my dreams and my waking thoughts-they're focused on my face. Seeing me. Knowing I'm here. The moment lasts maybe two seconds. Maybe less. Could be my imagination. Could be that she's just scanning the crowd and her gaze happened to pass over my corner. But for those two seconds, the world stops. There's no music. No crowd. No stage. No club. Just her eyes and mine. Just recognition. Just... connection. Then she looks away. Continues her routine. The moment is over. But my hands are shaking. My whole body is shaking. Did she see me? Really see me? Or did she just see another man in a dark corner, another customer?
