Nick picked up the card and ran his finger over his name. Trying to guess the content wouldn’t do him any good, so he finally pulled the card open.
Nick, Drew had an emergency back in LA. The budget fell through on a project in pre-production, and he can’t fix that from here. I wish I had the chance to say a proper goodbye. Maybe our paths will cross again someday. Thank you for the date. It’s not a night I’ll forget any time soon. Take care of yourself, Alec.
He read through the short note twice, then tossed the card back on the table. He did regret the missed opportunity, but he was relieved that he could give up his minor obsession with Alec and go back to business as usual. He had been much, much happier that way.
