“Honey, are you alright?” Sarah’s husband asked, noticing her stillness. She’d been staring at the stage, mesmerized, for what felt like forever. A local band was doing a cover of her song, "Crimson Skies." It was a simple, stripped-down version, but the singer's voice was raw and sincere. A warmth spread through her, a feeling of deep connection. She turned to her husband and took his hand, her fingers interlacing with his. The world felt vibrant and full.
