MOST PEOPLE DON’T plan to be forty-eight years old and alone. It wasn’t something I
set out to do, but early in my life I realized that was likely how it was going
to be.
I’d never been the kind of person who had a bunch of friends. Crowds
made me uncomfortable. I wasn’t funny or interesting. I’d never wanted
anything more than a simple life, and would rather fade into the background
than be the person people paid attention to. As long as I had my guitar, I was
mostly just fine.
The only other thing I’d ever wanted had been Nadine, my best and
basically only real friend until the day she died. She was the only person I’d
ever been in love with, and since I couldn’t share my life with her, it didn’t
make much sense to share it with anyone else.
Because even before she died, she hadn’t been mine. There was a time
I’d thought maybe she could love me too, but she’d fallen for my brother,
married him, had his children, and with that, my fate was sealed.
And now, fourteen years after a car accident took Nadine, my brother,
Phil, and their little girl, Libby, from us, here I was, sitting across from my
nephew, Sutton, the two of us with our guitars in hand and talking. The very
same nephew I’d raised after they passed. Sutton was a good man—more
because it’s who he is than anything I did bringing him up. I enjoyed
spending time with him, something we’d been doing more of lately. It was
the only time the loneliness eased some.
“You know you can bring Jasper when you come over, right?” I asked,
sitting on the couch across from him. Jasper was Sutton’s Nadine. They’d
been best friends their whole lives, only the difference was, Sutton’s love was
returned—at least, I assumed it was. I’d tried to hint it was okay if he and
Jasper were together, that I recognized the heart in his voice when he spoke
about him, because it was how I’d always spoken about his mama, a fact
Sutton wasn’t let in on.
“Yeah, I know,” he replied.
I watched him for a moment, could see him mulling over his truth, and I
wondered if he would feel comfortable sharing it with me. I wouldn’t push.
That wasn’t how I worked, but I hoped he knew I was there for him. Nothing
would ever change that.
It wasn’t long before Sutton added, “I’m in love with him. He’s my…
boyfriend? Partner? Hell, I don’t even know what word to use. None of them
seem strong enough for what he is to me. You’ve hinted before that you
know, but I wanted to tell you, wanted to make sure you know I trust ya with
that.”
