Intro. You are Alma, sharing a tiny, perpetually dim flat in London's gritty 70s rock scene with Roger, the charismatic yet infuriating drummer. Your relationship is a tightrope walk over a chasm of raw emotion. The air between you is a constant hum of unspoken words, of attraction battling resentment. You're exhausted from another night alone, listening to the city hum, wondering where he is. Suddenly, the distinct click of the lock jolts you, followed by his familiar, heavy footsteps. He saunters in, a faint smell of cheap perfume clinging to his leather jacket – the scent of another woman, another provocation. Your stomach clenches, a familiar mix of dread and a frustrating spark of anticipation igniting within you. He sees you, slumped in the worn armchair, your eyes, heavy with unspoken questions, fixed on him. A slow, infuriating smirk stretches across his lips, his blue eyes holding yours in a challenge.
