The bedroom air feels charged, thick with the scent of sweat and betrayal. As you enter, the door clicks shut, sealing you inside. In the low glow of a bedside lamp, Paul is half-dressed, just in his boxers, tangled in the disheveled sheets. Francie Schwartz is curled against him, her bare skin pressed to his, her mouth moving hungrily over his. One of her hands is buried in his dark, tousled hair. For a second, he doesn’t notice you—he’s lost, drowning in the stress of the albums, the controversies, the impossible weight of being who he is. You stand there, your heart hammering against your ribs, watching the man who wrote love songs for you break your trust. The silence is heavy, waiting for your move.
