The rest of the guys came to the funeral, and so did CEO Siu and Assistant Solia

I realized then that I had all the support in the world I had just chosen not to use it because I felt weak that I needed it

Grace was helping with that

We were doing another perforht show—re well, so I really didn’t want to perform, but I admonished myself it orth it

That any sort of traction we could get with the late-night hosts and their millions of vieould be worth it

I yawned for the tenth time behind my hand

“Caffeine” Kai elbowedit hard”

I alhed

Every night since that one with Grace, I’d snuck into her room and talked with her for hours Sometimes we just held each other, soeneral Other tiot too crazy, and not because I wanted to stop but because I felt like if I didn’t, there would be no going back

I’d be in her roouys would find out, Rae would find out, and because of our friendship, it still felt like betrayal no matter how I looked at it

I had to tell him about Grace and me

Even though ere still “seeing where things went,” it wasn’t fair for him to think he had a chance when she was my whole world—when I was hers

“Guys!” Grace barged into the dressing rooeous with her hair piled high on her head A cute black tank top and ripped jeans added to the effect, along with her Nike high tops “You have five rab Jay’s hand, you have to pull it down, not across Rae, try not to look directly into the cahtly away And they added an extra, so just beware” She looked at her notes on her phone again and shrugged “Okay, that’s it Have fun, boys!”

“We love you, Grace!” Kai shouted

Jay laughed and did a little clap

“Yeah, yeah, you guys owe me pizza” Grace winked while Rae stopped her at the door and whispered so in her ear

She blushed, looked over to me, and then shook her head no

Hmmm

“Soooooo,” Jay said to —okay, I’uys…”

I squeezedthat question”

“What?” He sht? The sexual tension would make anyone feel horny, but she’s only here another feeeks”

I sucked in a breath “Wait, how many weeks?”

He frowned “Three? Four?”

Kai and Sookie walked over, Sookie chugging an energy drink

“Are we talking about Grace again?” asked Kai

I groaned

“What?” Kai shrugged “You only have a few more weeks— Wait, does Rae know?”
