Annie didn’t have to imagine it. She glimpsed it every time they rehearsed together, and it dug up emotions she thought she’d made peace with. A shiver coursed through her. Couldn’t, shouldn’t, wouldn’t. She repeated the words in her head. Yet, in spite of everything, she was still drawn to him way more than she should be—in life, as well as music.

On Friday morning, Seth tucked the cardboard box under the desk in his small office at the station. Would Annie be as happy with his surprise as Tara said, or had he overstepped one of those invisible barriers she put up between them at every turn?

Summertime tunes from the lunchtime oldies show washed over him as he turned to the computer to answer e-mails. In a few hours, the Memorial Day weekend would kick off for families all across the country, but so far, Seth’s phone had stayed silent. And each time he thought about Dylan heading to the Hamptons, his heart squeezed a little more.

“Tara said you wanted to talk to me.” Annie’s voice came from outside the half-open office door. “Did you hear from your son?”

He swiveled in his chair and gestured her to come in and sit beside him. “No, not yet.”

“You have to keep trying.” Her tone was encouraging, although Seth couldn’t feel encouraged.

“I will.” Except, Dylan was an adult, and if he didn’t want to talk, Seth couldn’t force him to. “We used to be close, but now I don’t think he wants me in his life. He’s caught up with his girlfriend—a whole new life, really.”

“You’re his dad. Nobody can replace you.”

Apart from a guy who could help him get a job and a girlfriend whose folks had the kind of summer place Seth had grown up with. He exhaled. He should be happy Dylan had those opportunities.
