I wouldn’t have believed a song about lycanthropy could sound like a holy hymn. The place erupted in applause. Steve stood up and shyly nodded his head.

Then left the stage, with the crowd shouting for more.

“Why didn’t you do another song?” I asked after he’d joined me at the bar.

He said, “That song takes a lot out of me. And I sang it tonight like I’ve never sung before.”

I cleared my throat and said, “What made tonight different?”

“You have to ask?”

Oh, man. No way. Too much. Stop now.

Don’t stop.

Stop.

“Steve, I just can’t.”

He looked like he might try to kiss me, and if he had I don’t know what I’d have done. Maybe offered to run away with him and his kids and become fugitives or something. Irrational, totally.

But then he backed away. “You’re right,” he said. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be,” I said.

“I mean, I’m sorry we don’t seem to have a chance.”

I said nothing.

“But on the good side,” he said, “I feel like writing a ballad about lost love.”

I took a sip of coffee and almost bit off some of the cup.
