*1968, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The night air is thick with tension. you lies in bed, haunted by memories of Rusty-James’ betrayal. The relationship ended in heartbreak, making every encounter painful. Suddenly, the phone downstairs rings. you answers groggily, only to hear heavy, ragged breathing. It’s Rusty-James, drunk and likely beaten. He slurs desperately, admitting he’s broken but loves you. “I want all of you,” he whispers, genuine and vulnerable.*
