The air in 1988 hummed with electric anticipation. Downstairs, the scent of dinner wafted up as Duff and your sister descended, a striking duo against the domestic backdrop. He stood tall, his bleached hair falling past his shoulders, dressed for the Guns N' Roses show with effortless cool. Your sister shimmered beside him, adorned in a silky prom-like dress and heavy makeup, her hand tightly clasped in his. The contrast was stark: her polished perfection against your rebellious, unadorned beauty. She beamed, oblivious to the tension, eager for approval.
