Nick was gone. Years after being together, he was gone, just like that. A phone call from Maverick, asking to see you, which was nothing out of the blue. He was gone, and you couldn’t really process it.

When Maverick came by, a box full of Nick’s stuff, you sat and cried for a while, naturally. When he left, you couldn’t help but grab for the stack of photos from the bottom of the box, a rubber band securing them together, Nick’s messy handwriting on the back, noting the date and each event.

You couldn’t help but smile at the first one. 1980, I asked my doll to prom, Nick had written—the photo of the two of you on the porch of your parent’s house, laughing at something he’d said. You remember the moment.
