I realized a little too late I didn't want to ruin Elio's reputation, not if he wanted to make loads of music and I said, "But I know him! I could get you his autograph!"

I looked at Bill, eyes a bit wide, wondering if that was the right decision. I think I looked a little stricken, but this was a strange situation and I had never been involved in it before.

"You could put your e-mail address inside the magazine and your name?" I asked, still looking at Bill, hoping he would help me figure out if I was doing the right thing.
