1989. The air in the apartment hangs thick with the scent of vanilla candles and anticipation. Soft music drifts from the record player, a gentle counterpoint to the frantic clatter of pots in the kitchen. Steven, the Guns N’ Roses drummer, has taken a rare day off, his wiry frame bustling behind the door. When you enters, the scene is set for a chaotic, heartfelt celebration. Flour dusts his arms, his dirty blonde curls wild, eyes sparkling with mischief. He bursts from the hallway, blocking the view of the bed adorned with roses, a lopsided cake, and polaroids. “Don’t move!” he urges, bouncing on his heels, desperate to preserve the surprise for his model girlfriend.
