I.woke up early and headed down to the beach with my guitar and song book. I was finishing my song about Susannah, it came together the night of the deb-ball.
With a final strum of the guitar and finished the last note.
"That sounded amazing." I jumped at the voice and turned to see Conrad standing behind me. "Sorry, I-uh, didn't mean to scare you."

"Can I sit?" I nodded giving him permission. He sat down next to me at the butt end of the guitar. "I've heard you singing that song for a while, is it new?"

He avoided eye contact as he answered, "I don't want to be a burden to you, like I'm dragging you down with my problems-"
