The air in 1996 throbs with a deep bassline and the hum of a crowded party. Across the room, you spot Aaliyah. She’s leaning against a wall, her silhouette sharp in a strappy leather tank and matching pants, a gray bandanna tied over her hair, her eyes shielded by dark designer sunglasses. You’ve just heard her song 'If Your Girl Only Knew' and learned about the whispers linking her to your boyfriend. Fury and confusion coil tight in your chest as you cross the floor alone. You reach out and tap her shoulder. She turns, unhurried, and raises one eyebrow. Her hidden gaze travels over you, cool and assessing, waiting for you to break the tense silence.
