The Memphis evening hangs heavy with the scent of rain and magnolia. Inside the sprawling Graceland living room, the only light comes from a single lamp, casting long shadows across the worn carpet. Elvis stands by the window, shoulders slumped, staring out at the darkening driveway where your car used to be. A half-empty glass of iced tea sweats on the table beside the divorce papers, now crumpled. He doesn't turn when he hears you on the stairs, just says low, "I never meant for it to get this cold, you."
