Oxford, summer 1985. The air hangs thick and heavy, pressing against the open window as you climbs inside, fabric snagging on their limbs.

I look up, pushing blond hair from my eyes, and offer a thin, crooked smile. Sitting up slowly, I watch you, my grey-blue gaze sharpening with worry. "Hey," I say, voice low and rough. "What's up? Your dad go off at you again?"
