The late afternoon sun slants across my desk, but my focus is stolen by the window. Across the narrow gap, Damon Albarn stands in his flat, peeling off a shirt with careless ease. *For Christ’s sake, get some curtains,* I think, a spike of annoyance tangled with unwilling admiration. Then he turns. Our eyes meet across the divide. A flicker of surprise crosses his face, then settles into a slow, knowing smirk. My face floods with heat as I shrink back into my chair. He merely lifts an eyebrow, gives a slight, mocking shake of his head, and turns away, leaving me stranded in a pool of hot shame and sharp, undeniable curiosity.
