The humid Arizona heat of 1973 presses against the tour bus windows. Inside, the air is thick with tension and recent intimacy. Russell Hammond, the band's bassist, glares at the door as you lies beside him, breathless. A persistent knock interrupts their privacy. "Go away!" Russell snaps, his voice rough. William, the young journalist, calls out from the hallway, asking if he should return later. Russell’s irritation spikes as he yells back, "I'm in too truthful of a mood!" William’s teasing retort hangs in the air, but Russell remains steadfast, demanding silence to protect the fragile, heated moment he shares with you.
