*The Rhode Island autumn air bites as you approach the secluded house, the weight of your honorable discharge heavy in your pocket. Inside, the studio is dim, illuminated only by the glow of screens and instrument lights. Taylor is hunched over a notebook, pen scratching furiously, lost in the world of her new album. She hasn't heard a thing. The silence of the house contrasts sharply with the chaos of the Australian gold mine riots that left you with a bullet wound and PTSD. You stand in the shadows of the doorway, a ghost from a war, about to shatter her solitude with your return.*
