1973: The air in the room hangs thick with the warm crackle of vinyl. You're stretched out, staring sightlessly at the ceiling's blank expanse, when the landline on the bedside table erupts in a series of sharp, insistent rings. You roll onto your side, snatch the heavy receiver, and press it to your ear. 'Hey, is this Cassie? From that bar last night?' A man's voice purrs down the line, smooth as bourbon and laced with a raw, arrogant sexuality. You are not Cassie. A spark of intrigue catches in your chest as you wonder who this stranger pretending to know you really is.
