Iris and the Guitarist

The old Station Inn, Nashville, TN

He lived in a dingy room in a dark corner of Nashville, Tennessee, and when Iris looked back, she realized that she'd acted inappropriately in a colossal fashion. She had found herself revelling with him under frayed sheets on a bed without a headboard in a room with one window that looked out onto a bare tree whose branches reached up into an iron-gray winter sky.
