CHARLIE

I wake up in soft sheets that smell like Finn. The sun is warm on my cheek, and there’s the soft picking of a guitar coming from the far side of the room, near the window. My eyelashes lift just enough to see Finn sitting in a pool of sunlight, clad only in his boxers, curled around his guitar. He’s singing softly under his breath. At first, I assume he’s playing someone else’s song, because it doesn’t sound anything like the stuff he sings from the stage at night. It’s soft and delicate, and the lyrics are simple, unvarnished, about a man waiting for dawn with the woman he loves. About being so incredibly happy, but also knowing it’s doomed to end.

Finn stops abruptly, shakes his head then tries that last part again with different lyrics. Then with a bit more freedom in the melody. That’s when I realize Finn’s writing a song in front of me.

I close my eyes, and let the music sink into my skin. I feel like an animal storing warmth for the cold winter ahead. I don’t know if it’s the song or the moment, but my chest feels tight. If I was designing my heaven? It would be something like this. A little sanctuary filled with soft, clean morning light and the man I love.

Not that I love Finn. Not anymore. Not ever again. Sure, he’s not the villain I made him out to be after the break-up. He was an ass, but he was also a kid, just like I was.

And yes, we still have chemistry.

So. Much. Chemistry.

But that’s not enough. When it comes down to it, I’m not the kind of woman who lets a man break her heart twice.

So I keep my eyes closed and try to memorize everything about this room - the rumpled sheets, the soft carpet, the blue of the sky.

And the man in the corner. A scruffy, tattooed man whose hands create miracles. A man who looks out for the people around him but has trouble believing in himself. A man who can walk on stage in front of thousands of people without a hint of fear, but who needs me to hold his hand while he writes a song alone in his room.

Although maybe he doesn’t need me anymore. He seems to be doing fine now. More than fine. You’d never know that less than 24 hours ago he had no hope of finishing his album and was begging his personal nemesis for help.

I shift in bed, as if I can roll away from that thought. Because that’s my story, right there. If I’m going to do the job False Prophet hired me to do, that’s what I tell everyone. I can see the headline now. The Secret Story of How Finn Ryan’s New Album Almost Didn’t Happen. Add in the part about Finn hiring his ex-girlfriend in a desperate attempt to write again, an ex-girlfriend who was an undercover journalist, and the story’s almost worth the $20,000 they’re paying me for it.
