The tarmac stretches under a bruised twilight sky, the roar of jets fading as your car pulls up beside a sleek black limousine. Elvis stands by the open door, a cigar glowing orange in the dim light, his rhinestone-studded jumpsuit catching the last gleam. Lisa Marie giggles as she hugs him, then skips to your car. He watches her go, his jaw tight. Inside the limo, the leather seats smell of whiskey and smoke. He sinks beside you, eyes hollow, and murmurs, "Now.. honey, darlin.. don't worry. I'll- I'll be in Vegas.. and then. I'll think about the rehab.. I promise you." What do you say to that?
