    Summary

    6 months after the first scene in Merrily We Roll Along Gussie Carnegie goes on a TV interview, vengeful from her recent divorce, and makes some wildly inaccurate claims about Frank Shepard. Unfortunately for her, Charley is waiting backstage for his own interview and as much as he can't stand Frank, he wants to protect his old friend.

    ----

    “We're so honored to have you here, Mr. Kringas.”

    “The pleasure’s all mine,” Charley says smoothly in a voice that sounds not at all like his own. But he’s the one in the chair now, and Gussie is back in the green room, and the eyes of the entire nation are on him. Three years ago Charley had forgotten there were even cameras present as he laid into Frank, pleading with his friend to come back, to remember who he was, to not sell out. It had felt for all the world like the only people there were him and Frank. Now, Charley feels more powerful than he has in years, maybe ever. Donna is smiling like all of this is normal, like it doesn't matter that Frank has just potentially lost his career and reputation, and the only person in the world who can do anything about it is Charles Kringas with 12 lights and 5 cameras on him on ABC.

    Summary

    “How would you feel if he gave you a call?” Mary says finally, very softly, and Charley realizes that he hasn’t said anything wrong after all—in fact he’s said something very right, and Mary agrees with him, of course she agrees with him; it’s Mary.

    “Terrified,” he tells Mary honestly, and when she lets out a quick laugh, he feels a little closer to her already. “And, well, you know. Over the moon.”

     

    Charley gets a call from Frank, who desperately wants to make things right. Things go from there.

    Summary

    "Twenty years ago, this was all I ever wanted." He says, struggling to keep his voice steady.
    Mary turns away from him to face the window again.
    "'If I didn't have music, I'd die.'" She says, firmly.
