"Where were you? Your father and I went to the club. Your mom was looking for you." Benny asked as Allison entered the apartment.
"If you must know, I was at the Life Cafe. Roger and his girlfriend called to ask me to lunch with them and we were just hanging out." she smiled taking her purse off of her shoulder.
"You're becoming quite chummy with them all again, huh?" he asked sarcastically.
"Yes Benny, I am. Are you jealous?" she asked looking over at him.
"Yeah right. Me jealous of them? They're all still living in their dream world. They have no idea what success really is. If you want to hang out with those losers, knock yourself out. I prefer to go to the club with your father anyway." he laughed taking a sip of his scotch.
"You know what Benny? I want a divorce. You and my father can have your beautiful life together because I want no part of it. Not anymore." she yelled before storming off to her room and slamming the door.
"Allison, you can't be serious." he called out rushing to the bedroom. When he opened the door Allison was throwing some clothes into a huge suitcase. "What are you doing?" he asked looking over at her.
"I'm leaving you Benny. I'm sick and tired of being treated like garbage by you. The women, the late night meetings. The business trips with my father. I'm done. Done with all of it." she yelled tossing her clothes in without folding them.
"You are not leaving me Allison. You're just pissed. You're not thinking clearly right now. Let's talk about this." he said looking over at her.
"I've been pissed for a long time Benny. I've turned a blind eye to your shit long enough. I can't take it anymore. I just stayed because I didn't have the courage to leave you. I didn't want to be alone." she told him walking to the walk in closet.
"And where are you gonna go? Bohemia?" he laughed looking at her.
"None of your business Benny. I just need to get away from you." she yelled closing her suitcase and walking out the door with it.
"OK girls, now stretch 2, 3, 4 and breathe 2, 3, 4. Good. Tamara, you're doing great sweetie. Now plie 2, 3, 4. Candace keep your back straight sweetie. Chin up. Good girl." she smiled as she walked around the dance studio in her pink body suit and leotards. The door opening got her attention. She looked up and noticed Roger standing in the doorway smiling at her. "OK girls. That's all for today. I'll see you girls on Thursday." she smiled before rushing over to Roger. "Hi Baby. This is a surprise." she smiled leaning up to kiss him.
"Yeah, I was nowhere near the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop in and watch my girl work." he laughed holding her around her waist.
"Well I'm glad you came by and got to see me in action." she laughed looking up at him.
"Keely." a young 7 year old African American girl called out standing next to them.
"What's the matter Tamara?" she smiled looking down at the girl.
"My mom said I can't come on Thursday. I have to go to the doctor and get shots." she said looking up at her and Roger.
"That's OK sweetie. But remember, I expect you to keep practicing, OK? You're doing really good." she smiled looking down at her.
"OK. Thanks Keely. I will." she smiled before running off to her older sister who was standing on the other side of the room.
"You are so good with them." he smiled looking down at her.
"Yeah well, they remind me of myself when I was a little girl. They love to dance." she smiled looking up at him. "So, what do I owe this little surprise visit to?" she asked looking up at him.
"I missed my girl." he smiled leaning down to kiss her.
"Aww, I missed you too." she smiled leaning up to kiss him. "OK, um... well I was gonna try to get some solo dance time in after the girls left. Do you have anywhere else to be for a while?" she asked looking up at him.
"Nope. I'm all yours for the rest of the evening." he smiled looking down at her.
"Great. Maybe I can teach you a few moves." she laughed looking up at him.
"I don't think so Keel. I'm not exactly the dancer type. But I can't wait to see your moves." he laughed looking down into her blue eyes.
"Mark my words Roger Davis, I will get you on the dance floor." she smiled pointing up at him.
"A girl can dream." he laughed sitting on the chair by the door.
"We'll see." she laughed walking over to the stereo in the other corner of the room and putting on some Donna Summer song from the 70s and starting to dance around the studio.
"Oh geez." he laughed watching her as she turned to him.
"Last dance. Last chance, for love. Yes, it's my last chance, for romance, tonight." she sang prowling towards him.
"I'm not dancing Keel." he protested looking up at her.
"I need you, by me. Beside me, to guide me. To hold me, to scold me. 'Cause when I'm bad I'm so' so bad." she sang taking his hands.
"You are a wicked, wicked woman." he laughed as she pulled him up from the chair.
"So let's dance, the last dance. Let's dance, the last dance. Let's dance, this last dance tonight." she continued dragging him around the room as the music paced up. He started to move with the music with her dancing around him.
"Keel, this is disco. I don't do disco." he laughed as she danced with him.
"I thought you said you don't dance at all." she laughed as he pulled her to him holding her by her waist.
"I don't. You know the kind of dancing I'm good at. No music required." he smiled leaning down to kiss her. His hands roamed her body as she fell into his kiss.
"Mmm, I love dancing with you." she whispered breathlessly as she broke their kiss.
"Wanna go to the loft? It's closer than your place and Mark and Collins are out with the girls. No one's home." he asked looking deep into her blue eyes.
"Mmm the possibilities." she smiled breaking away from him to turn off the stereo and as he grabbed her dance bag before they left the studio.
As Alison stood outside the loft, she put her suitcase down. Before knocking on the door, she took a deep breath. "Go away, we're busy." she heard Roger call out as Keely giggled.
"Roger, don't be so rude. I'm answering the door. Just get some pants on." she laughed before opening the door. She was wearing one of Roger's button down shirts and it covered her panties, only showing her from the mid thigh down. "Allie. Sweetie, are you OK?" she asked looking over at her.
"I left Benny." she said looking over at her.
"Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. Come on in." she told her opening the door.
"No, I should go. I'm interrupting you guys." she said looking over at her.
"Allie, would you come in. Please." Roger said coming out of his bedroom wearing a pair of jeans and a tank top.
"Are you sure? I mean, you guys sounded like you were in the middle of something." she asked looking over at him.
"Forget it Baby, get in here. Tell us what happened." he said putting his arm around her before taking her bag from him and leading her into the loft.
"He started giving me shit about hanging out with you guys again, so I left him. It was the last straw. I haven't been happy for a really long time." she said looking up at him.
"I'm so sorry Allie." Keely said looking down at her as they sat on the couch.
"Don't be. I feel better than I've felt in a long time. Now I have to look for an apartment." she said looking over at her as Roger went to the kitchen.
"Do you want a drink Al?" he asked looking over at her.
"A stoli would be amazing right now. I know Collins has a stash somewhere around here." she said looking back at him.
"Gotcha. Is it OK Baby?" he asked looking over at Keel.
"Of course it is." she smiled looking back at him. "You know Allie, I may be able to help you. With your apartment situation, anyway. My roommate moved out a few months ago. Her room is still empty. If you wanna move in with me. I would love to have you. I can cover the bills until you get a job." she smiled as Roger smiled at her.
"Keel, the money is mine. Benny only has it because of me. But I couldn't. You and Roger need your privacy and I'd hate to be in the way." she said looking over at her.
"Allie, you're one of our best friends and you need need somewhere to live. Keely has a room. Would you just take it please?" he smiled handing her a coffee mug that was filled half way with stoli.
"Are you sure? I don't want to get in the way." she said looking over at Keely.
"I'm positive. I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want you there. Plus it'll be you and me against Roger. Think of all the fun we could have." she laughed as Roger plopped next to Keely.
"Yeah Al, think of all the fun you two could have at my expense." he laughed putting his arm around Keely.
"Are you sure Keely? I mean, really sure." she asked looking over at her.
"Of course I am." she smiled leaning against Roger.
"OK. I guess you got yourself a new roommate. And I insist on paying all of the bills. It's the least I can do." she smiled looking over at her.
"Allie, I don't need you to pay my bills for me." Keely said leaning over to hug Allison.
"Don't argue with me Keel. I won't take no for an answer." she smiled looking over at her.
"OK, but just for a little while." she said looking over at her.
"Deal." she smiled looking over at Roger.
"What does Benny say about all this?" Roger asked looking over at her.
"He thinks the fact that he's an ass couldn't possibly be the reason why I'm leaving him. He blames you guys. But it's not because of you guys. You just gave me the strength to finally do it." she said looking over at him.
"You know we'll always be here for you Allie. You're our friend." Keely smiled looking over at her.
"I know Keel. You have no idea how much that means to me." she smiled looking over at her.
"Allie, where's my blue skirt? You know, the long one." Keely yelled from her bedroom closet.
"Um... it's in my room. I'm sorry, I borrowed it the other day. I'll bring it out." Allison called out from her room.
"Did you have a hot date?" Keely asked walking out into the living room.
"No, I kind of went for a job interview. I want to make it on my own for once. Without daddy's money to fall back on. I'm gonna need a job for that." she said bringing the skirt to her.
"Allie, that's great. But are you sure this is what you want to do? I mean, the money was yours, not Benny's." she asked sitting on the couch.
"I'm totally sure. I mean, I've always had my parent's money. Sure, it allowed me to help my friends when they needed it and I'm still gonna use it for that, but I don't want to use it to sit around and do nothing. I wanna make my own way in life. Do you think I'm crazy?" she asked plopping down on the chair next to the couch.
"You are definitely crazy. But not for that reason. I understand why you need to do this. But why make things harder on yourself. It's hard enough living on your own." she asked looking over at her.
"I know, and that's what I wanted. I mean, I've been friends with Roger and everyone for years, but I've always been the odd one out. I never had dreams of doing something that makes me happy and I certainly never had to eat and Ramen, yet I was never really happy. I only pretended to be. Having everyone back in my life and meeting you made me take a look at what's really important in life and that's loving and being loved. I didn't have that with Benny. At least not after we got married. He's been running around with all these women since Mimi. She wasn't the only one and she definitely wasn't the last one. But I had money and stuff, so I pretended to be happy. But I um... I wasn't. At least not until now." she said looking over at her.
"You know what Allie? I understand completely. I respect you for standing up to Benny and your father." she smiled looking over at her roommate.
"Thanks Keel. That means a lot coming from you." she smiled before getting up from the chair.
"You're still coming to my show tonight, right?" Keely asked from the couch.
"Of course I am Keel. I wouldn't miss it for anything." she smiled before going into her room.
"So, you've been spending a lot of time at Keely's lately. Does that mean things are going well?" Mimi asked Roger as he smiled over at Keely by the stage.
"I guess you can say that, yeah." he laughed winking at Keely as she looked up at him.
"Good. I'm glad that you finally got over your fear." she smiled looking up at him watching him stare at Keely.
"Mhm." he smiled before looking down at what he was doing.
"Roger, are you listening to me?" she laughed looking up at him.
"Oh um... yeah, sorry. She's gorgeous, isn't she?" he smiled looking up at Keely again.
"Yeah Roger, she is." she smiled looking back at Keely who was standing in front of the microphone singing.
I can't believe I could've been so blind, but love is strange
I thought about it for a long long time, but the truth remains
I don't need another lonely night to dry my tears
The answer's plain as black and white, and I can see the picture very clear
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
It isn't like you never had the chance to change your tune
Did you think that I'm a dime a dance, well the dance is through
I been doing things your way too long, but baby that's over (baby that's over)
It won't be easy, but I gotta be strong
And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
I'll find someone else who's nothing like you
And who can play the game as well
And you're gonna be sorry baby - when it's over
I been doing things your way too long, baby that's over (baby that's over)
It won't be easy, but I've got to be strong
And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
Keely sung and it was mesmerizing. Roger cheered as she sung the 80's female hairband Vixen classic. She rocked out and he loved it. He wished he was up there with her, but he was still apprehensive about it. When she was done with the song, she winked at him from on stage before the next song started..
"OK, I need an answer right now. Are you gonna join the band or what?" Keely asked looking up at Roger as they washed the dinner dishes.
"Are you still on this?" he laughed looking down at her.
"If by this, you mean wanting to be in a band with my boyfriend? Then yes. I'm still on this." she smiled looking up at him.
"You are one relentless woman." he laughed looking down at her.
"You should know Keely by now Roger. She doesn't give up that easily." Allison laughed wiping the table.
"Yeah, yeah, well I'm a diva. I can't help it. Now would you quit being so evasive and answer the question?" she smiled looking up at him.
"Are you sure you want to be in a band with your boyfriend? I mean, look at all the famous bands that have gone down the tubes because two members were dating." he said looking over at her.
"Name one?" she asked looking up at him.
"Fleetwood Mac. HA!" he smiled putting his hands on his sides.
"Roger." Alison called out laughing.
"Oh please, they still come out with stuff every now and then Roger. Besides, the reason why Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks broke up was because of drugs. Not because they were in the same band. So that hardly counts." she laughed looking up at him.
"Aha but it still counts." he smiled wrapping his arms around her waist to hold her close to him as the phone rang. "Ahh, saved by the bell." he laughed letting her go so she could answer the phone.
"We're not done with this yet." she laughed looking up at him before answering the phone. "Hello?" she said into the phone. "Daddy, um... hey. Is everything OK with you and mom?... you're coming here? When?... next week?... aha... OK... I guess I'll see you guys then... OK, I love you and mom too... OK bye." she said hanging up the phone.
"Daddy?" he smiled looking over at her.
"Daddy?" Alison smiled watching them.
"Yeah Daddy. Did you think I was hatched or something?" she laughed looking up at him.
"Of course not, it's just... I don't know, I never heard you talk like that." he smiled looking down at her.
"Yeah well, get ready, him and my mom are coming for a visit next week." she groaned sitting on the couch.
"What's the matter Baby?" he asked sitting next to her.
"Nothing's the matter, it's just... my parents don't know a lot about my life here. I haven't told them about you yet, they don't know about the band and they still don't know that I'm positive." she said looking over at him.
"Your parents don't know that you're positive? Keely, how could that be?" he asked looking over at her.
"Yeah I was kind of hoping you were gonna focus on the fact that I haven't told them about you yet." she said getting up from the couch.
"Baby, how could they not know that their daughter is HIV positive? Don't you talk to them?" he asked looking up at her.
"Of course I talk to them, but I was afraid that if I told them, they'd want me to move back home to take care of me and as you can see, I don't need anyone to take care of me." she said looking down at him.
"But Baby, don't you think they should know?" he asked looking up at him.
"For what reason? So they could get worried and drag me home to Minnesota and lock me in my bedroom because they know what's best for me? No thank you. They were against me moving here to begin with. The only reason why they didn't give me such a hard time is because I went to dance school here and because Oliver was here and they made him swear to take care of me." she said looking down at him.
"What are you gonna do?" he asked looking up at her.
"What do you mean?" she asked sitting next to him.
"When they come? You're gonna have to tell them, right? I mean, it's gonna be pretty hard for you to hide the fact that your taking antiretrovirals. They're gonna figure it out." he said looking over at her.
"Baby, all I have to do is carry my meds with me and take them when they're not around. They'll never be the wiser." she told him sitting back on the couch.
"Baby, I think you should tell them. They should know that their daughter is HIV positive." he told her getting up from the couch.
"He's right Keel. You need to tell them." Allison said looking over at her.
"OK you guys, say I do tell them. What do you think they're gonna do? Wrap their arms around me and tell me that they can see that I can take care of myself and just leave quietly? No, they're gonna try to get me to go back to Minnesota with them and then that's it. The end of our relationship, the end of my career, the end of my life. I'm not gonna give them that satisfaction." she said looking up at him.
"Keely, you're 28 years old, you have a life here and you have me. They can't make you go with them." Alison said looking over at her.
"And you have me. You're hardly alone." Roger smiled looking down at her.
"You guys don't know my parents. That's not gonna make any difference. Trust me. They're overbearing, and very, very, very, overprotective. They make Roger look relaxed." she said looking up at him.
"Then we're just gonna have to show them that we can take care of each other. All of us." he smiled sitting down next to her.
"Are you sure you want to do this Baby?" she asked looking over at him.
"Positive. I wanna meet your parents and show them that we're not helpless." he smiled putting his arms around her.
"Fine, I'll introduce you to them and I'll tell them about our HIV, but I don't think it's a good idea if you stay over while they're here. They would freak. Even if it is my apartment." she smiled looking up at him.
"Deal. You'll see Baby. We'll show them that you don't need them to take care of you. You got me." he smiled looking into her eyes.
"Yeah yeah. You just don't play fair." she laughed holding him in her arms.
"I'll take it anyway I can get it." he laughed leaning down to kiss her.
"OK, now what?" she asked looking over at him.
"We start getting things ready for when your parents come." he smiled leaning down to kiss her head.
"This is not gonna be as fun as you think it is. You do realize that, right?" she asked looking over at him.
"It'll be fine. You'll see Baby." he smiled leaning down to kiss her.
"As long as you'll be with me, I'm sure it will be." she smiled into his green eyes. "Now, about the band." she laughed looking up at him.
"Fine woman. You win." he laughed submitting to her.
"Really? Are you serious?" she asked surprised.
"Yeah Baby, really. I'll do it. I'd love to share the stage with my Baby." he smiled caressing her face with his thumb.
"Thank you Roger. This is gonna be awesome. I can't wait." she cheered wrapping her arms around his neck knocking him down on the couch before kissing him long and deep.
A few days later
Danny was playing around on the keyboard on the stage while Roger was wiping down the bar. Keely and Alison went over the books for the dance school while Oliver, Seth, Drew and Cody sat in the corner drinking beer talking about their set list. Danny was playing a melody that sounded familiar to Roger.
"She's got a way about her. Mmmm, I don't know what it is. But I know that I can't live without her. She s got a way of pleasin'. Mmmm, I don't know what it is. But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway. She's got a smile that heals me. Mmmm I don't know why it is. But I have to laugh when she reveals me. She's got a way of talkin'. I don't know why it is. But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere." Roger started as Keely and Allison smiled up at him.
"Baby, that was really good. What made you start singing that song?" Keely asked looking up at him.
"I don't know. It just came to me. It reminds me of you." he smiled looking down at her.
"You should sing that to me on Saturday night." Keely smiled looking up at him.
"No. I was just messing around." he said looking down at her.
"Why not? That sounded really good." Keely smiled looking up at him.
"Because it has no part for you to sing. I wanna sing with my girl." he smiled looking over at her.
"Come on Rog. Get up here. We can work out a couple of songs that you sing on your own. Keel would love to just stand in the audience watching you for a change, right Keel?" Danny smiled looking down at him.
"I would love that." she smiled looking up at him.
"I don't know..." he started when Keely interrupted him.
"Come on Roger. Do it." Alison encouraged looking over at them.
"Yeah Baby, get up there. I wanna hear the rest of it. For me." she smiled taking his arm and leading him up on stage. Danny started the song again as Roger stood in front of the microphone smiling down at Keely.
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
She s got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound She touches me
and I get turned around
She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'
She's got a light around her
And ev'rywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround her
ev'rywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her anyway
"Baby, that was amazing. You are definitely doing that. And I am definitely standing right there when you do." she smiled rushing onto the stage before pointing down at the front row.
"I don't know Keel. It's not really me." he said looking down at her.
"Roger, it's perfectly you. I can't wait to hear you sing it to me." she smiled looking up at him. As the other band members smiled at them.
"They really do bring out the best in each other, don't they?" Allison asked smiling at Drew.
"Yeah, they really do." he smiled looking down at her.
A week later.
"Are you ready for Lynn and Martin O'Reilly?" Keely asked looking up at him.
"I'm totally ready Baby. Don't worry, it'll be OK." he smiled reaching around her waist watching for Keely's parents.
"Maybe we should have brought Oliver as a buffer. He's really good with them." she said rubbing her hands together.
"Keel, it's gonna be fine. Stop worrying." he insisted looking down at her before Keely's eyes opened wide.
"There they are. Oh my God, I'm so nervous." she said looking over at them.
"Don't be Baby, it'll be fine. You'll see." he smiled as her parents walked towards them.
"Hi mom, dad. How was your flight?" she asked standing in the airport with Roger as her parents approached them.
"It was long and uncomfortable. I'm so glad to be out of that sardine can." Mrs. O'Reilly answered leaning down to hug her daughter.
"Well you're here now. You guys can stay in my roommate Allison's room. She's staying at a friend's loft while you guys are here. There's plenty of room in there for you guys." she smiled looking up at her.
"Oh, we couldn't possibly take her room." Mrs. O'Reilly said looking down at her.
"Forget it mom. Allie's glad to do it. She wants you guys to be comfortable." she smiled looking over at her.
"Keely Lynn, we've been standing here for at least five minutes, do you plan on introducing us to this young man you brought with you?" Mr. O'Reilly smiled looking down at his daughter.
"Oh, I'm sorry daddy. Mom, dad, this is Roger Davis. Roger, and I have been dating for a little over a month." she smiled reaching down to take Roger's hand.
"It's nice to meet you Mr and Mrs O'Reilly. I've heard so much about you." Roger smiled extending his right hand out to Mr O'Reilly.
"It's nice to meet you too Roger. My daughter neglected to tell us anything about you. What do you do?" he asked looking up at him.
"I'm a bartender at a bar in the East Village and I'm also a musician. I play in this really great band." he smiled looking over at him as Keely looked down at her feet.
"That sounds nice dear. Doesn't that sound nice Martin?" Mrs. O'Reilly asked smiling at her husband.
"Yes Lynn, very nice. Do you and Keely live together?" he asked looking down at his daughter.
"No daddy. He lives in a loft a few blocks from my place." Keely snapped looking up at her father.
"Why don't we get your bags and get you back to Keely's place. I'm sure you both need to rest from your flight." Roger interjected trying to calm Keely down.
"Good idea. Keely and I will hail a cab." Mrs. O'Reilly smiled taking her daughter's arm as Roger and Mr. O'Reilly went to the baggage claim area. "So how come you never told us that you were seeing someone?" she asked looking down at her daughter.
"I don't know mom. We really like each other and I guess I was waiting to see how things went first." she said looking up at her.
"Well he's not very mysterious about his feelings for you." she laughed looking down at her.
"Yeah, he tends to wear his heart on his sleeve. He's a song writer, and he's really great." she laughed looking up at her.
"Are you two sleeping together?" she asked as Keely stopped in her tracks.
"Mother, I really don't think..." she started when Mrs. O'Reilly interrupted her.
"You're not a teenager anymore Keely. You can tell me." she smiled looking down at her.
"If you must know, yes. Yes we are. Am I gonna get the lecture about not buying the cow because he's getting the milk for free?" she asked folding her arms across her chest.
"Of course not Keely. You are using protection, aren't you? There are diseases out there and you wouldn't want to get pregnant yet, would you?" she asked looking down at her.
"Of course we're using protection mother." she said looking over at her.
"I know how difficult it is sometimes. You have your hormones raging and the last thing on your mind is safe sex..." she started as Keely interrupted her.
"Mom, I'm not talking about my sex life with you. At least not here in the middle of the airport. Can we just get a cab? Daddy and Roger will be out with the bags any minute now." she told her feeling not only guilty for not telling her about her HIV, but stupid for contracting HIV to begin with.
"OK sweetie. It's so nice to see you. You look really great. I love your hair, but what's with all the piercing?" she asked looking down at her.
"Wait until you see my tattoos." she mumbled raising her arm in the air to a cab.
"What?" Mrs. O'Reilly asked looking down at her.
"We can talk more when we get back to my apartment." she said walking towards a cab as Roger and her father came out of the terminal carrying the bags.
A/N: The song I had Keely sing was Edge of a Broken Heart by Vixen and the song Roger sung was She's Got a Way by Billy Joel. I've heard Adam's versions of Vienna and New York State of Mind and I love hearing him sing Billy Joel. And since Billy Joel is one of Adam's favorite singers, it's fitting. I hope you're liking this story so far. I don't know how far I'm gonna take it, but I'd like to just play it by ear.
