Really beautiful story. I admire the detail and specificity with the butcher job and learning to play the instrument. I also like that you didn't go in predictable directions with the two potential romantic relationships. Very well done.
Good story. I enjoyed reading. The ending made me wonder if Bern's newfound self confidence was making him hard, ambitious. I liked him better when he was embarrassed and naive. That's life, I suppose.

The honest are always naive, that's their Achille's heel. As we grow wiser, can we maintain our honesty? Maybe?
If we grow wiser. That’s a big ‘if’. Most of us just grow.
