"Most of it, I think." Greg looks to her a moment, uncertain, but a glance lets him know how it's all right. She wants to hear. He chews his lip, briefly, and then nods.
"It's still kinda hazy, the further back I go. I think it's because a lot of it is the same as the fake stuff they made up for me. I was touring as a one-man band, I don't think I'd seen my family in..." He shakes it off. Dwelling on that part of it too long makes it harder to tell what's real and what isn't. That's not what Meril wants to hear about.
"But, then Rose showed up at my concert. She was the only one there, but... I guess... she was the only audience I needed." His pace slows, and he holds Meril's hand tight. This is strange to talk about with her, for a lot of reasons, but she ought to know. "I pretty much gave up music after that. Professionally, anyway. Me and Rose were always together after that point, up until Steven was born."
