THE GUITAR pick was sunny yellow and bore the legend “Nicky.” Joyful swirls surrounded his name.

The plastic edges dug sharply into Nick’s palm as he watched Marsh sing to him on YouTube. He hadn’t slept, but the injunction against googling had been so strong, he hadn’t thought to succumb until early afternoon. He’d felt a sharp stab of guilt as he’d typed out “Marshall Burns Chicago gig.”

Nick had loved and lost once. Now he was almost glad he’d been forced to live through it, because he at least knew he wasn’t going to let it happen again.

His first problem was access. He had no doubt he was already blocked on Marsh’s and Amy’s phones. If he showed up at the studio, he wouldn’t blame Josh and Kate for going at him with an actual shovel. At the apartment, best case Marsh could ignore him completely; worst case he would call the police.

Then there was the issue of what to say. What could he say? I’m sorry. I love you. I was always in it for you, only you. All true statements, but how much power did they really hold? How many times could he say them before they lost all meaning? Why should Marsh believe him?

While Marsh was wrong to think Nick had been using him, that didn’t mean Nick had done nothing wrong. So it was important he apologize for the right things. He had to display persistence; he wasn’t going to give up on Marsh, no matter what. And he needed to communicate a strong sense of the relationship they had forged. He had to show Marsh that he’d been invested in them, in him, despite believing they were only temporary.

But how could he communicate these concepts concretely? His mind flashed to the notes Marsh had sent while he’d been working himself ragged. Notes and presents—things he knew Nick would like because he’d cared enough to pay attention.

He grabbed his keys.
