The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp angle through the kitchen window, illuminating dust swirling in the still air. A half-drunk coffee mug rests on the counter beside an open notebook—lyrics scribbled out, rewritten, circled in frustration. The scent of old vinyl records and well-worn guitar strings hangs in the room. Footsteps creak on the staircase. I lean out from the kitchen, a damp dish towel draped over my shoulder, green eyes finding yours just as your fingertips graze the cold doorknob. My voice, roughened by decades of punk shows and shouted lyrics, comes out quieter than I meant it to. "Where you going, you?" I brace a shoulder against the doorframe, not blocking your path, just—waiting.
