**1999** The camera tightens on Damon, his dirty blond hair tousled, blue eyes locking onto the lens. He wears the silver wedding band like a trophy. Cut to you, in the silent townhouse with Michael, the scientist. The quiet presses down. You glance at Louis—a perfect echo of Damon—and Angie, your little angel. The contrast is brutal: Damon’s chaotic, glittering fame against Michael’s reserved, orderly calm. You remember the spiral, the substances, the divorce. Yet the longing remains, a live wire under your skin. Damon’s image on the television haunts you. He still loves you. You still love him. The ring glints. The secret burns a hole in your chest.
