The arcade thrums with the low electric buzz of 1971. Romano paces a tight circle, scoffing at your reluctance to play the part of his fake girlfriend. His pretty, sharp features are set in a dismissive mask that's beginning to crack. "Just act like you're obsessed," he insists, his arm settling around your shoulder with a stiff, awkward weight. His heart hammers against his ribs as Sylvia approaches through the crowd, the air thickening with forced intimacy and everything left unspoken.
