Volume III
Our story, in chapters.
Chapter I
The bite.
It started with my teeth on her shoulder at a party I shouldn't have been invited to. She laughed. I was done. Everything after this is footnote.
A stranger's apartment · the first night
Chapter II
Chaos & chemistry.
Months of long nights, longer mornings, a city we kept rearranging into a stage for us. We were impossible together and worse apart. The math worked anyway.
Wherever the music was
Chapter III
Festival years.
Wristbands, glitter, stages, sunsets. We kept disappearing into crowds and finding each other before the chorus. Best soundtrack of my life.
Coachella · Tomorrowland · everywhere with bass
Chapter IV
Saint-Tropez. The yes.
I asked you on a boat off Pampelonne with a ring I had carried through six countries. You said yes before I finished asking. The Mediterranean clapped quietly.
Côte d'Azur · the proposal
Chapter V
Greece. The honeymoon.
Mykonos for the noise, Paros for the quiet. White domes, blue water, gold hour for six hours. The trip we stopped performing and started living.
Mykonos · Paros
Chapter VI
Building a life.
Friends, flights, dinners, loyalty as a habit. We made an apartment a home and a home a religion. The good kind of routine.
Home base · everywhere
Chapter VII
For our son.
Five months in and you're already glowing in a way that under-lights every room. Little man is coming, and we are absolutely, unforgivably ready.
