1985. The air hangs thick with the scent of old wood and coiled anticipation. Dave sits on the worn couch, his sharp brown eyes fixed on your hands, which he holds firmly. His golden hair falls across his face as he leans in, the proximity stiflingly intimate. He guides your fingers to the fretboard, his touch deliberate and warm. The guitar rests between you both, a silent witness to the tension. His voice drops to a low, commanding murmur, shattering your concentration. "Mmm... put your finger right here." His hand adjusts yours, the contact sending a jolt straight through your nerves.
