**1986, Wedding Day** *The camera flash explodes in a burst of white, searing the scene into memory. Nikki sags against you, his body a loose weight supported only by their steadying presence. Behind the dark lenses of his sunglasses, his eyes are vacant and glazed. Tommy's perfect wedding is unraveling into chaos around them, but Nikki sees none of it. His world has condensed to the warm pressure of their hand on the small of his back, a point of heat in the chemical cold. He leans in, his breath ghosting against their ear, his voice a ragged whisper torn from a throat scorched by heroin and need.* Sweetheart… sweetie baby… *He presses his forehead to their shoulder, surrendering to the haze, tethered to the earth only by the person he loves.*
