Newport Beach, California
In the smoky haze of the late-night café, Evelyn sat at her usual table, the black-and-white world around her pulsing with the mournful wail of a live jazz band. The saxophone’s notes curled through the air like a confession, each one tugging at the edges of her grief. Behind her dark sunglasses, her eyes were fixed on the empty chair across from her, where her late husband used to tap his foot to the rhythm. A glass of bourbon sat untouched, next to a faded photo of the two of them dancing here years ago. The band played on, but for Evelyn, the music was a ghost—haunting, familiar, and gone.
