Silence On The Main Stage

My name is Ethan Lester. I' m a humble community college music teacher, engaged to Nicole Anderson, a brilliant Silicon Valley CEO.

She worships an anonymous DJ, "Aethel," whose music, she says, saved her from deep depression.

She doesn't know "Aethel" is me.

After our engagement party, I saw a text on her phone, not meant for my eyes.

It was from her assistant, Brian: "He' s boring. He' ll never understand you like I do. Like Aethel does."

Her reply shattered my world: "I know, my Aethel. I' ll handle him. The festival is all that matters."
