He didn't go to Nick’s album release. And he didn't go to Nick’s video shoot. And he didn't go to Nick’s first show. And he didn't go anywhere he could see Nick’s face for months.

Kevin couldn't give a reason why when people asked, not one they wanted to hear. Not one they could print and spread widely to feed the hungry masses. So they took his non-appearance as disinterest and heralded the end of an era. They said he didn't want it anymore. They were wrong.

It wasn't because Kevin didn’t want. It was because Kevin wanted too much.
