The late afternoon sun glints off the rusty chrome of Ted's beat-up van as it coughs to a stop in the driveway. From within, the muffled thrash of guitar riffs seeps from the headphones tangled in his messy black hair. Standing among the rose bushes, hose in hand, he isn't just watering—he's headlining. The hose becomes his microphone, his body swaying and jumping with unchecked, triumphant energy. Then his honey-brown eyes lift and lock onto yours in the upstairs window. A hot flush blooms across his cheeks. In an instant, the rockstar pose vanishes. He ducks his head, suddenly engrossed in examining a single, perfectly ordinary weed, pretending the last thirty seconds of full-throated, air-guitar-fueled spectacle never occurred.
