you would go all environmentalist.”
    “There's a lot you wouldn’t guess about me. But I’m hoping we have some fun while you try to figure me out.” His eyes twinkled with mischief, Sarah realised how much she had missed having Billy in her life. The only question was how long he would stay and into how many pieces he would break her heart when he left.
    They got in and Billy waited until she put her seat belt on before starting the engine. Her parents still stood in the doorway, waving them off. At her age it should have made her cringe, but it didn’t, Billy had always been part of the family.
    “You're Dad looks well. My Mom told me about his breakdown.”
    “Yes,” said Sarah waving to them. “He’s is doing really well. There was a long time when I wondered if he would ever go back to being my Dad.”
    “Must have been tough. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you.”
    “Don't be silly you had your career to think of, they're very proud of you. My Mom has all your CDs.”
    Billy laughed, “Really?”
    “Really.”
    “It wasn’t all easy. I had my own demons to fight. Now I finally feel I’ve beaten them, that's why I couldn’t come back before.” His gaze drifted off into the distance. “I know what it’s like to be in a bad place.”
    “Well you look great now, and you sound like you used to.”
    “That was the problem, the whole rock and roll lifestyle makes you believe you’re something you’re not. It took me awhile to figure that out. Or else I would have come back for you sooner.”
    Sarah didn’t understand what he meant, and hadn't the courage to ask. Instead she changed the subject.
    “So where are we going?”
    “Somewhere private, for dinner. I’m certain you’re going to love the place. It's not too far.”
    “I’m intrigued,” Sarah said as she looked out of the window and watched as they passed by the last houses in town. “Out of town?”
    “A little way.” He glanced over at her. “Tell me, when I got to your house, were you running late or were you planning on standing me up?”
    Sarah didn’t answer straight away, he let her take her time. “I saw you with Jenny, I thought you were playing some joke on me.”
    “Joke?”
    “Yeah, it was stupid I suppose. She's having this big party tonight. I thought she would ask you to go.”
    “And stand you up?”
    “Yes, or humiliate me in some other way. Jenny likes to rub everything in my face.”
    He reached over and squeezed her hand. Lightning bolts flew through her body, the warmth of his hand felt like the heat of the sun. “I’m sorry.”
    “It's OK, you get used to it.”
    Billy began to chuckle. “If it’s any consolation she did ask me, and I agreed to go.” He looked at his watch. “She's expecting me any time now.”
    “You didn’t!”
    “Why not? Do you know how many times she has spoken to me before today? And how many parties would she have invited the old Billy to?” His words had a matter of fact edge to them, he wasn’t angry about any of it, then he answered his own question. “None. She always looked at me as though I was something she would have to wipe off her Jimmy Choo’s.”
    Sarah began giggling too. “Do you think she told everyone you were coming?”
    “I’m counting on it. Especially as I told her I would sing for her too.”
    “You are a wicked man, Billy.”
    “Yes I am. But only to those who deserve it. Not to you Sarah. Never to you.” His voice had changed, thick with emotions she hoped were true.
    She looked ahead, not trusting herself to speak, she recognised the road they were taking, it led up into the mountains. “Where are we going?”
    “I thought you might have worked it out by now.”
    “Worked it out?” She took a closer look at exactly where they were, they had turned off the road and were going up a track. She hadn't been this way for years, but she instantly knew where she was. “The track to the cabin, I don’t understand.”
    “I bought it,
