"We can if you want," Anders said, guarded. "It's not a secret that I miss you."

He feigned a coughing fit once he got the gist of the lyrics to the next song. Maybe she somehow wouldn't hear them.

I’ve seen love go by my door
It’s never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
Been shooting in the dark too long
When somethin’s not right it’s wrong
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Dragon clouds so high above
I’ve only known careless love
It’s always hit me from below
This time around it’s more correct
Right on target, so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
