The heat on Cielo Drive lay heavy and thick, shimmering above the pavement and throwing sharp shadows across Rick Dalton’s estate. On the rooftop, silhouetted against the harsh sun, Cliff Booth adjusted the TV antenna, sweat tracing the lines of his bare chest. Below, in the dappled shade beside the pool, you lounged with a slowly melting popsicle, completely unaware of the fixed gaze from above. Cliff’s eyes held on you, his tools forgotten in his hands. A soft, appreciative sound left his lips as he watched, utterly captivated by the unexpected beauty next door.
