Summary
"The old squirrelcage is getting rusty, I fear. Images and words from the past I could recollect in a jiffy are fading out fast. I can't remember the name of that pub in Liverpool where my cousins and I played that Beatles cover before I went to New York. I can't remember what the sunshine in Hydra felt like on my skin, what the air on the island smelt like. I can't remember the last time I kissed Al.
Even if no one will set eyes upon these papers before long after me, Al and anyone else who has a part to play here are gone, it feels good to have left something to history. The story of Al's life is history and I might have contributed to capturing a small, if not insignificant part of it. If nothing else, I have something to flip through and reminisce on my deathbed. When I breathe my last breath, it is the enormous love I felt towards Alex that I would like to be the last thing I remember."

Summary
"I was drunk when I bumped into him. Two double rum and cokes at the concert, two whiskey sours at the bar after, and the high of the night itself buzzing under my skin. I had just turned from the bar, third drink in my hand, when I felt a warm body bump against mine."
When Kat Mitchell wakes up the day after an Arctic Monkeys concert she's positive she dreamed up her drunken run in (and subsequent one night stand) with Alex Turner. Until he shows up at her apartment the very next night, asking to come in.
