What a delight. I thoroughly enjoyed this first part of your latest story. And as an added bonus, not only did it prove entertaining, it was also quite educational on several fronts (language, culture, movies). I very much appreciated your sprinkling some French into the story. Some of it I would have been able to translate on my own, other parts used vocabulary that I am quite confident I had never seen before, but your writing made it very easy to understand it all.
One thing especially stood out to me: ‘No Sky Was Harmed During Filming’ .

My only concern is that I have listened to the title song and its lyrics have me worried about how this story will end. I'm hoping that gender-swapping the song's title character isn't the only liberty you took with the song.
I'm looking forward to the remaining two parts.
Joy,
