NATHAN had seen enough movies to know that you don’t let love leave without a fight. So when Ellie said, ‘It’s over’, he knew it was just the start. First he texted and left voicemails, pleading his case. Then he crashed her office with flowers, chocolates, her favourite soups. With Ellie still playing hard-to-get, he turned up outside her home one night holding aloft an old boom box. ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ blanketed the dozing neighbourhood. Minutes later, from the backseat of a police car, Nathan found time for regrets. Chief among them was his choice of song.
