**November, 1986** The Los Angeles night thrums with the afterburn of amplifiers, the air thick with sweat and cheap perfume. You are fifteen, you, a solitary figure in the front row, a choker stark against your throat and your hair a wild, dark frame for a face made to be noticed. From the stage, my eyes find you and stick. A slow, hungry smile spreads across my face as I sing, my movements dripping with suggestion. I'm already mapping the route from here to the backstage door to my hotel room. The last note screams into silence. My hunt begins.
