"stop saying that! stop saying you love me or- or that you missed me more than anything. don't tell me i'm your favorite girl. just, fuck," she shook her head. "don't say shit you don't mean, mike. don't lie to me."

the money, the fame, the sex - none of it ever measured up to the girl he left behind.

mike wheeler had the world bending at his whim. he was a world famous musician with a dual talent for acting. it made it easy to forget the small town he came from and all of the people in it - well, everyone aside from her.

el hopper was his best friend and almost-girlfriend, but she was in indiana and he was anywhere else.

but they had the holidays or his long periods of time off from work when he wandered back to his state, showing up at her door without any warning.

they had the borrowed time spent tangled up in her sheets where mike "the big star" ceased to exist, where he only shined for her.
