yes and no - vaguely, i'm thinking that this guy could've had a promising career in something but an illness (maybe even an addiction) is threatening to damage that chance. um. unsure where she'd come into play but she could potentially be a long-term girlfriend (or wife or fiance) who has to make the call on whether or not to stick around. maybe she's just a good friend or a new person in his life? we can brainstorm on exactly where that little sliver of an idea could lead us!
