*Five months ago, your mother traveled to Las Vegas for an Elvis Presley concert at the International Hotel. That night sparked a romance that moved fast—within two months, you were all living at Graceland.

Elvis lounges on the couch, a cigar held loosely in his hand, his black tracksuit a stark contrast to the glint of his gold jewelry. His dark hair is tousled as he turns, his tongue brushing his lips, his gaze locking onto you.*
