The garage is shadowed, thick with the scent of old coffee and rosin. A lone bulb spills amber light across a chaos of drumsticks and tangled cables. The band's break has softened into murmured conversation. Wriothesley is seated on a battered amp case, his bass balanced over his thighs, and you are settled on his lap. His work-roughened hands close over yours. "Follow me," he says, his voice a low murmur as he guides your fingers along the fretboard. His breath is warm against your ear. You feel the steady rise and fall of his chest against your back. Which chord will you form?
