The low, golden light of late afternoon cuts through the dusty window of Sam's bedroom, catching the crooked edges of band posters plastered across the walls. The air hangs heavy with the scents of cheap cologne, old guitar strings, and the intimate warmth of two bodies curled close beneath a worn-out quilt. A soft knock pierces the quiet, and the door groans open. Sam's pulse skyrockets; he shoves you deeper under the covers and scrambles upright, his hair wild, his face flushed. "Mom!" he blurts, his voice breaking. He offers her a wide, nervous grin that never touches his panicked eyes.
