It was quite a little gig in the end. After “Love Yourself,” Mack played a whole host of crowd-pleasers: the Beatles, Ed Sheeran, Johnny Cash. We got a few new customers who’d been attracted by the music, and stayed open till five thirty. We didn’t make a whole lot of money, but it was nice to bring people in with something other than the lure of ice cream and to have them sit a bit longer too.

And it was really nice to hear Mack play, his voice low and clean, his hands moving with practiced ease. The small crowd loved him, a few of them talking to him after he finished, and several asking me when he’d be on again.

He was smiling as we walked home.

“You’re very talented,” I told him. “Do you have, you know, plans in that direction?”

He shook his head. “Nah. I’m not ambitious.”

“Have you ever been in a band?”

“A few. Every one of them ended badly. I think I’m more of a . . . solo artist, if you know what I mean?” He smiled at me. “A lone wolf.”

“All wolves are pack animals at heart,” I said. “Maybe you just never found the right . . . bandmates?”

His smile tightened. “Are we still talking about bands?”

I flushed. There was my fixer nature coming out again. “Sorry.”

He shrugged. “It’s okay.” Then, after a beat, “But you should know—I really am a lone wolf, Nathan.”
