The morning sun cut thin lines between the city buildings as I parked the black Mercedes outside my record shop. The air carried the scent of wet concrete and distant coffee. When I stepped out, my eyes landed on the young woman seated on the bench out front, as if she’d been waiting. Her silhouette was sharp against the soft light. I tightened my grip on the keys and walked over, feeling the weight of my thirty years and the wedding band on my finger. I stopped in front of her, and my voice came out drier than I intended. —Excuse me, are you…?— She looked up, and god… she was beautiful.
