Focus. It's what drives him, grounds him and keeps his head in the game. Focus. Keeps his eyes open, ears listening and voice sharp. Focus. When he loses it, he loses everything and it's up to you to help him find it again.

You stand at the side of the stage, watching Shawn carry out easily one of his best performances of this entire tour. He's killing it, the energy in the room is electric. It's not until he goes to perform his most recent song that something feels off. It's touching, a delicate ballad titled Broken. He had written it on tour last year right after the two of you got together. Essentially the song is about how you put him back together and made him feel whole again when the world seemed to be spiraling out of control. He always teared up during it, and so did you. No matter how many times he played it, it got to you.

But tonight is different. He's suddenly shaking, hands unstable against the microphone stand. All the confidence of his earlier performance seems to have vanished. His eyes are everywhere and nowhere at once. Something is wrong. Zubin starts the opening chords, leading the rest of the band into it but Shawn isn't grabbing his guitar from his back. He's frozen, head now leaning against the microphone.

"Jake, something is wrong. Look at him." You elbow his security guard who looks up from his phone.

"He's emotional, it happens, this is your song."

"Jake, no. Look!" You point to his trembling hands and he steps back from the microphone. You aren't waiting for Jake at this point and you walk out on stage to see what's wrong.

Shawn turns and looks at you, his eyes are glassy, as if he doesn't even really see you. But he knows you're there, and reaches for you instinctively.

"Talk to me," you say loud enough for him to hear over the band that is just playing the melody of the song to keep the show going. You pull out his in ears and he cups your face with shaking hands. "Bud, what's going on?"

"Will you marry me?"

"What? Why are you asking me that?"

"I need to know."

You grab his wrists and stare at him lovingly. "Honey you're in the middle of a show. Can't this wait?"

He shakes his head. "I've been thinking about it all day, I was going to propose at dinner tonight but then we started the song and I just lost it. I can't focus on anything else right now. I need to know."

"Yes." You grin at him. "Yes of course I'll marry you Shawn."

His entire demeanor changes and he pulls you in for a kiss. "Thank you."

The crowd goes wild, cheering and screaming deafening you as Shawn pulls back to look at you. He's beaming, a completely different man from twenty seconds ago.

"You gotta go finish this set." You pat his chest and he nods. "Go on, I'll be over here with Jake."

Shawn slips his in ears back in and turns to the audience, approaching the microphone and apologizing briefly for his moment of weakness. He turns and looks back at you. "I just want you all to know, that woman over there." He points at you and his stage camera pans to show you on the overhead screens. "Is going to be Mrs. Mendes very soon, and I am the luckiest man alive tonight. I love you."

The crowd screams and you hide your face in your hands. Shawn was absolutely going to get it tonight.
