Chapter 3

Vince sits awake late into the night, trying to work out how to show Howard how he feels. At least, that's what he started out doing. Now he's sitting in the dark, listening to music and thinking about all the things that could go wrong.

What if he messes up? What if he scares him away? What if he laughs? What if…

He doesn't even know how he's going to do it. He can't just tell him. That wouldn't be good enough. He needs something big. Something that'll show Howard exactly how much he loves him.

"Should I bring him down?

Should I scream and shout?"

The song gives him an idea. It could go horribly wrong, and he would be completely humiliated if it did, but he doesn't care. He knows. He knows how to tell Howard he loves him. His eyes light up, he breaks out in a grin and a plan begins to form in his mind.
