The guitar lay abandoned on the porch as Ethan sat next to Liam. The evening air was cool, the sky a vast canvas of stars. Across the country. Ethan had known Liam would want to pursue his dreams, but the reality still stung.

He remembered the endless hours they spent together, writing songs, playing gigs in the local bars, the dream they had to make it. He was thankful for the experience.

Ethan reached out, patting Liam on the shoulder. “You’ve got this,” he said, his voice husky. "Just, you know… thanks." A silent understanding passed between them. Ethan knew that their memories and the bond they shared would last.
