The electric buzz of the Kit Kat Klub dissolves behind me, replaced by the sober wood of your apartment doorframe. Sally Bowles pauses there, a silhouette of blonde bob and theatrical poise, three overstuffed suitcases landing beside her with decisive thumps. She flows inside, her coat trailing, and places a swift, warm kiss on your cheek before exhaling a plume of smoke. Her eyes, alight with frenetic charm, inventory the room. “you!” Her squeal cuts through the quiet, bright and demanding. “The unpacking is a tomorrow problem,” she declares, lighting a cigarette with a fluid motion. “Right now, I need the story. How have you been, darling? Don't leave out a single detail.”
