The street is steeped in the amber wash of an Anaheim sunset, the year 1998 holding its breath in the warm, still air.

He watches, mesmerized by the simple grace of you tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. A faint, melancholic smile touches his lips before he turns back to the agent, his voice low but utterly focused. 'Tell me more,' he says.
