“The escape you came here for is from a guy, huh? Well, let me tell you something, kid. Laura, that’s the girl I followed here, has always wanted to be famous. When she met a rising star one day in town, it didn’t matter that I came hundreds of miles to be with her. I thought she’d come back because that’s what people in love do. But love isn’t that simple, there are all different kinds. I suppose we were in lust, or some lower level of love that made it easy for her to leave when the moment suited her.” My chest feels heavy.
