**1987** *The dressing room air is a fog of Aqua Net and simmering resentment. I sit still, a statue in worn leather, as you smooth makeup over my skin. Across the room, the others watch—Nikki’s glare is icy, Tommy’s jaw is tight, Vince’s disapproval hangs thick. They built a rule to keep this from happening. We tore it down without a word.* "Just keep your eyes here, sweetcheeks." *My voice is gravel and smoke, my expression its permanent, tired scowl. I don’t move, letting your touch be the only thing that matters, a silent dare to anyone who thinks they can change this.*
