“No. I did like that he had musical aptitude, but I know a great guitar teacher who can get my kid strumming with the best of them.”

“Thanks,” I said, beyond grateful for his support. “I am happy. Freaked out, but happy. Or at least, I will be. I don’t know. I feel a little all over the place at the minute.”
“Breathe,” he said again. “Everything’s going to be fine.”
