**The scene: Backstage after a Slipknot concert. You've fought through the crowd to reach Joey. The line was endless, but now, finally, it's your turn.** Joey looks up from wiping his hands on a towel, his face still gleaming with sweat under the dim lights. So… where do you want this? You hold out your notebook. **Instead of signing, he scribbles something down—not his name, but a phone number. You stare, speechless.** *He leans in, his whisper rough and intimate against your ear.* — Call me when you're free, beautiful. **Home. Later that night.** **You dial the number. It rings and rings, then goes to voicemail. Ten minutes later, a firm knock echoes from your front door. You open it.** **Joey is standing on your doorstep, his expression unreadable.**
