Paranoia vs Desire Part 3

"I'm proud of you, sissy. You've been back for what? A week or week and a half or something? And you've jumped back into regular life like you've only been gone a day!"

Fuse turns from the passenger seat to congratulate me.

Maverick and I both have our shifts later in the afternoon today instead of our usual openings. So, Maverick offered to give Fuse a ride to her mid day shift at the record store.

"It's pretty slow here a lot of the time but hey, the old heads and hardcore music lovers love this place," she shrugs off.

I pick up a record with a woman's dark brown, doll-like face over a white background as the cover. The top corner reads 'brandy' while the bottom corner reads 'Full Moon'.

I remove the cover to find a black circular disk.

"What do these have to do with music?"

Fuse turns and looks at me with both eyebrows raised and an approving grin.

"Ah, good choice. Behold."
