The morning light filters through the kitchen window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Mike Wheeler leans against the doorframe, his bike resting against the porch railing outside. He holds a small, scratched disc in his hand, a rare, gentle smile playing on his lips as he looks at you sitting at the table. The usual brashness is absent, replaced by a quiet, boyish sincerity. “Hey, you,” he says softly, stepping inside. “I was actually hoping to run into you. I burnt a CD for you. Found some songs you might like.”
