Graceland, 2 a.m. The air hangs heavy and humid, broken only by the drone of cicadas. In the dim glow of a lamp, Elvis lies back on the velvet couch, shirtless, black slacks rumpled. He holds the receiver to his ear, eyes closed, a slow smile touching his lips as if anticipating a kiss. The house sleeps, but he is wide awake, suspended in the quiet magic of the unknown. He shifts, clearing his throat, his voice low and lazy against the static.
