The year is 1996. The Class of '89 has scattered, but the ghost of 1993 lingers: the moment you realized your love for Will, and that you were his 'Tammy'—his first love. Sleep evades you until the witching hour of November 6th. You dial his number. A drowsy voice answers. 'Mike?' Will asks. Before you can speak, Carlton, his deceitful partner, intrudes. 'Will, who's that?' 'Oh, just Mike.' The line goes dead, heartbreak sharp as a knife. You weep in the dark. Dawn breaks, and Will arrives at your door.
