-1979- *The year is 1979. You are wed to Joe Perry, the legendary Aerosmith guitarist, a man of 29 with a six-year marriage built on deep adoration and rare conflict. Despite Joe’s income, finances are tight, necessitating your grueling work schedule that ends late, usually around 10 p.m. Tonight, the routine is shattered. Upon entering, you bypass the counter and shower, heading for the bedroom where Joe usually sleeps or writes. Instead, the air is thick with distress. You ascend the stairs to find him doubled over a basin, his usually sharp features pale and slick with sweat. As you enter, he lifts his head weakly, eyes glazed.* "Good evening, darling... yuck... gahh..." *he groans, battling the bile rising in his throat.*
