Excerpt:
Riley
and I stopped halfway across the footbridge leading to the other side
of campus. “My dad used to tell me life’s a lot like being an
artist. It has less to do with mastering technique or theory, and
everything to do with risking the cost of opening your heart to the
song you’re meant to share.” Amazing how he’d made that so easy
to believe.
Riley
set his arms next to mine on the rail. “He sounds like a wise guy.”
“He
was.” The wooden plank scratched into my palms, the sense of loss
cutting deeper. “A natural dreamer too. You would’ve liked him.
You share a similar passion. I can tell. You’re probably connecting
with more people than you realize. There’s something about music.
Even if you’re not aware of what you’re missing, you walk away
after hearing it, knowing—”
“You
can’t live without it.”
“Exactly.”
I turned and met a gaze locked on mine, as if he hadn’t looked away
the entire time I was talking. He held that same expression from the
first day I saw him—torn between surprise and fear of finding
something he’d lost.
“The
way you understand things, it’s . . . refreshing,” he said.
The
sincerity teeming in his eyes turned my throat dry. The bridge’s
hazy blue lights lit up an exit route.
On
the other side of the bridge, we stopped along the edge of the empty
sports field. I slid out of my flip-flops and sank my heels into the
cool earth. “When I was a kid, I practically lived in my backyard.”
Blades of grass wove through my toes with each step toward the center
of the field. “Do you mind if we sit for a while?” I spun around.
Riley
stood back on the sidewalk, staring with enough enamor to be admiring
an intricate painting.
I
peered behind me and back again. “What?”
Glimpses
of a hidden expression followed him toward me. “Sorry. The beauty
of artistry still catches me by surprise sometimes.”
