He replayed the album as he drove: the city hollowed into a tunnel of windows and sodium lamps. Each stop the messages hinted at—an old record store, a late-night diner, a laundromat with flaking turquoise paint—was a station where the past might be coaxed into speech. He waited to catch a name; instead he caught fragments: a laugh that matched the woman in the photo, the ghost of perfume on a napkin, a set of initials scratched into a booth. People moved through these places like props in a movie he hadn’t realized he was still starring in.
