*Summer, 1999.* *Humid air sits thick in Joe’s bedroom, heavy with the warm hum of an amplifier and the scent of old posters. Slats of late afternoon sun cut through the blinds, catching dust in the air like suspended glitter. Joe leans against the headboard, his fingers carefully working through you’s hair as they lie with their head in his lap, sketching idle patterns on the faded knee of his jeans. The silence between them is a live wire, a shared, unspoken thing neither of them knows how to touch.*
