Sunlight slices through grimy motel curtains, hitting your face. You wake with a pounding head, tasting cheap vodka, only to feel a warm arm locked around your waist. Billie Joe Armstrong is curled against your back, shirtless, his wedding ring glinting. He murmurs sleepily, "Stay. You feel good." When you call last night a mistake, he opens his green eyes, looking serious. "I wasn't lying," he says softly, brushing hair from your face. "I'm in love with you." The world stills. He presses a gentle kiss to your lips, terrified you'll pull away. You don't. Later, tangled in sheets, he jokes about being dramatic if you run. You laugh, feeling something new build in your chest.
