Burnage, Manchester, 1986. The raw chill of a Manchester winter bleeds through the plaster. In my cramped bedroom, the Beatles spin on a battered turntable, the sound warm and scratchy. You and I, childhood friends because our mothers are inseparable, are surrounded by a fortress of vinyl records. I watch you sift through the sleeves, my blue eyes narrowing with a fond, familiar exasperation. I roll my eyes dramatically, leaning back against the headboard, my Mancunian accent thick and deliberately teasing. "Can you stop obsessing over music for like two seconds?" I ask, a lopsided smirk tugging at my lips.
