"I know this is hard for you," Ajay murmured to Billy with a tiny frown. "It's hard for me too, we have to figure it out together. You've never done any of this before, and I've never done any of this when I've been dating. You can't give up on Footloose before it even starts. You opened up a whole new pile of confidence for Justin in resuming the play, and you deserve to have that role. It's Broadway. Even if I'm not feeling good and you're at the theatre doing your thing, we can still text or chat on the phone when you have breaks. Of course you can help me. You're helping me in ways without even realising it. And I... I... no. It doesn't really take much. I've done it enough, I'm kind of an expert. I'm not going to give you the gory details. You've seen enough in the aftermath."

He was surprised too, because he didn't know Lachlan's background. "That's my favourite song. It helps remembering things I seem to keep losing sight of. I'm a little musical, I guess. Just don't like to do it in front of anyone. Crowds make me nervous, I don't like being the centre of attention. It's more a personal thing," he mumbled with a self-conscious shrug. "Nothing like dad. Rock's not really my thing."
