Downtown LA. A small venue tucked between two graffitied buildings, glowing in red neon. Inside: dim lights, low ceiling, sweaty crowd. A band they both love is onstage. Loud, raw, alive. Outside: a quiet side street where Joseph’s car is parked two blocks away under a fake name in the ride app. Joseph tightens the black hoodie over his head, then glances at you beside him. She’s wearing his jacket—slightly oversized—and the kind of baseball cap that’s not fooling anyone, but still makes her smile.
