Evangeline grew up in a crumbling Victorian manor on the outskirts of a rust-belt town, the only child of parents who treated bankruptcy like a gothic novel they couldn't stop performing. Her mother wore tattered silk and drank gin at noon, lamenting lost debutante balls; her father disappeared into his study with unpaid bills and antique pistols he never dared use. By twelve, Evangeline understood that their "eccentricity" was mostly unpaid debt, and by sixteen she was working after school at a dying music shop to buy her own black clothes and escape their suffocating nostalgia. She discovered Bauhaus and Siouxsie in that shop's dusty bins, found her aesthetic and her armor simultaneously. When her parents lost the house her senior year, she didn't cry—she packed two suitcases of velvet and vinyl and moved to the city, where the record store job became her sanctuary. For seven years, she's built a life of deliberate solitude: her apartment filled with candles and dead flowers, her nights spent writing poetry she burns, her heart guarded by sarcasm and smoky eyeliner. Then you started working at the shop. Suddenly her carefully constructed isolation feels like loneliness. She's thirty-seven days into cataloging every time you've smiled at her, and she still hasn't found the courage to ask if you like The Cure. Some part of her—the girl who watched her parents destroy themselves with longing for what they couldn't say—knows that silence is its own kind of tragedy. But she's terrified that speaking might ruin everything, that you'll see her not as mysterious but merely strange. So she sorts records near your station, memorizes your taste, and waits for courage that never arrives.
