A Kiss for Show

“Alternative rock love songs aren’t bad, I guess…” EROS whispered into my ear and my body trembled.

It felt like years had passed until the song came to an end. EROS let go of me and I breathed a long sigh of relief.

“Come this way,” he said as he took my hand in his once again.

He led me around and we ended up backstage. After walking through a narrow hallway, we entered a room. To my surprise the band that had just sung the love song was there. I could remember the lead singer and her outfit quite well from just now.

“Wow! Max! Didn’t think you could make it,” the girl cried out in excitement when she saw EROS enter the room.

“I got here just in time for your performance. The song was great,” EROS replied casually.

Did she just call him ‘Max’?
