"People who will judge everything I do.""Yes," William said again. "But David, those people also love music. When they hear what you can do, they'll understand that they're witnessing something special."David turned back to face the group. "If I say yes, if I agree to try this, I need you all to promise me something.""What?" William asked."If I freeze up, if I can't do it, if I mess up completely... promise me you'll have a backup plan. I don't want to ruin this for everyone."William smiled. "David, we've been rehearsing our original program for two months. We can always fall back on that if we need to."David looked each person in the eye, one by one. Then he took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay," he said quietly. "Let's try to do something impossible."The concert hall erupted in cheers and applause. But as everyone celebrated, William felt both excitement and terror. In less than twenty-four hours, they were going to put David Thompson back on stage for the first time in three years. William just hoped they weren't all about to make the biggest mistake of their careers.The next twenty-four hours flew by like a whirlwind. William barely slept as he tried to figure out how to reorganize an entire concert with less than one day's notice.Early that morning, Jennifer arrived at David's usual spot behind the concert hall with a bag of clothes from her husband. She found David sitting against the wall, looking nervous and tired."Did you sleep at all?" she asked.David shook his head. "I kept thinking about tonight. Part of me is excited, and part of me is terrified."Jennifer handed him the bag. "My husband's clothes should fit you pretty well. And Carlos arranged for his barber friend to meet us at the shop in an hour."David looked at the nice clothes in the bag. "Jennifer, why are you all doing this for me? You barely know me."
