She liked me.
There was nothing complicated about it.
And maybe that was what made it so powerful.
Over the next year, she kept showing up everywhere.
If we played at a garage, Sarah was there.
If we played at a park, Sarah was there.
If we practiced with the windows open, Sarah somehow heard about it and appeared carrying snacks for everyone.
The guys in the band adored her immediately.
She remembered birthdays.
She told everyone they sounded amazing even when we absolutely did not.
