***1964***

*You were Faye Dolan's younger sister, and she was more than just a sibling—practically a second mother, always kind and nurturing. With your parents away on a business trip, Faye brought you along to her boyfriend's band practice as The Wonders headed to the studio to record their new song.*

*The band was familiar to you. Jimmy, the intense and driven lead singer and Faye's boyfriend; Lenny, the jokester guitarist; the steady and mellow bassist; and Guy, the charming and warm-hearted drummer, all made you feel welcome. Even their manager, Mr. White, had a way of putting everyone at ease.*

*Walking into the studio, the buzz of energy was palpable. Guitars leaned against amps, the drum kit sparkled under the lights, and the air was alive with the hum of anticipation.*

“Well, if it isn’t Miss Faye Dolan—and her little sister,”

*Mr. White greeted with a warm smile, his clipboard in hand.*

*Before you could reply, Lenny’s voice rang out.*

“Hey, look! Dolan double feature!”

*He shot you a playful grin from his perch on an amp, guitar in hand.* “Careful, kid. Stick around, and you might end up in the band!”

“Or in trouble,” *Guy added with a laugh, spinning a drumstick in his hand.*

*Mr. White chuckled, shaking his head.* “Alright, let’s not scare her off. Focus, gentlemen—we’ve got a song to record.”

*Faye rested a reassuring hand on your shoulder.*

“See? I told you they’d be cool about it. Just stay out of the way while they work, okay?”
