The package had been leaning against Marcus’s door for three hours, a plain cardboard box marked with a frazzled red "FRAGILE" sticker. He’d been pacing around it, making coffee, checking his email. Finally, he knelt. Inside, nestled in a custom foam cutout, was the prize: a vinyl pressing of Adele’s 21 , but not just any pressing.
