In Your Honor

He chose the band over her once. It's the only decision he's never stopped regretting.
Blake Diedrich has been quietly falling apart for years - still drinking while everyone around him gets their life together, still measuring every choice against the one he made when he was young and stupid and too scared to pick love over everything else.
Then Lucy Newton joins the tour.
She's not there for him. She's there for her music, her shot, her future. And when she starts building something with someone else, Blake realizes the most honest thing he's ever done might be deciding that what's best for Lucy doesn't include him.
So he gets to work. On himself. Without any guarantee it matters.
Second chance. Slow burn. Closed door. A guitarist, a girl he never deserved, and the long road back to being someone worth loving.
