The song called "Southern Charms Hit" drifted from a battered radio on the counter, the chorus wrapping the room in a honeyed nostalgia: sliding harmonies, a steel guitar that wept like an old friend, and percussion that sounded like a porch swing finding its rhythm. It was the kind of tune that remembered your grandmother’s lipstick and the hush of cicadas at twilight. Bethany listened the way someone reads a letter they’ve smoothed flat: slowly, with attention to every fold.
