The older gentleman came into the room backstage. He gave a smile and said, "I enjoyed your performance tonight. It was very refreshing to hear the songs I grew up hearing. It's not very common to find young people interested in that type of music." Les said, "Thank you. Would Ты like an autograph?" The older man laughed. "No, actually, that's not why I'm here. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Henry, and I've always wanted to manage a band. Ты are so good, Ты deserve to be playing еще than just clubs." Charles said, "You mean we should be playing in large venues like theaters?" Henry said, "Exactly. I'd also like to get Ты a record deal so that Ты can produce your own albums." Felix said, "That can only help, as we do write original songs." Henry said, "Fantastic! That way, people can hear your music. Who knows? Ты might be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame someday." Les said, "Like the Beatles!" Henry said, "Yeah, and all the great bands!" Jimmy said, "This is a good opportunity for us. I think we should take Henry up on his offer." Finally, Les's dream of becoming a rock звезда was coming true. Within a week, A Wave Tossed in the Ocean already had a record deal. They began recording original songs. No two songs sounded the same. They spanned across many genres from the sixties and seventies. They soon released their self-titled debut album, and it was soon topping the charts. Not long after the release of the album, they released two of their songs, "The Letter" and "Healing a Broken Heart" as singles. The songs quickly became hits. Within a month, Henry arranged a tour for the boys. They were all very excited. As for Les, he still had his scars from his abusive father, but they were beginning to fade, thanks to his new friends. Henry became a father figure to the boys, especially Les. Once, Les even сказал(-а) to Henry, "You're the father I never had." This made Henry smile. He said, "You're all the sons I've never had." Thanks to Jimmy, Charles, Felix, and Henry, Les finally had a family who always accepted him for who he is and always understood him.
