Curious eyes track my every move as the band loads up the bus and takes off into the night, but my lips are sealed until Theo and I can have a conversation. Whenever I glance in the rearview mirror, his pensive gaze is fixed on me.

It would be a complete lie to say that I’m not terrified, but I couldn’t stand to watch that guy make a move on Theo any longer.

Professional relationships be damned.

Shortly after the show ended, Monica called, shouting praises because both our album and two of our singles climbed a few slots on the charts. The high that everyone was already experiencing is boosted by the news, so the bus is full of animated chatter as we drive home.

When we’re an hour outside of Charlotte, things get quiet, and I glance in the rearview mirror to see everyone passed out in their seats.

Eric and Dmitri are curled up together, Eric resting his head on Dmitri’s shoulder with his mouth hanging open. Tai is leaning against the window with his jacket tucked underneath him as a pillow. At the sight of Theo’s small body nestled on the seat, a smile unconsciously forms on my face.

“You’ve got it bad, my friend,” Dmitri whispers, and I dart my eyes back to his. He smiles as he leans over and plants a kiss on top of Eric’s curly blond hair. “I should know.”

“How do you do it?” I ask, and he tilts his head, waiting for me to clarify. “Go through life and not be terrified that you’ll do something wrong? How are you not paralyzed by the fear that you might lose him one day?”

A moment of silence passes as he contemplates my question. “How long have you been in love with Theo, Dante?”

“How long have I known him?” I joke, and he gives a quiet chuckle. “Four years.”

His nod carries a deep level of understanding. “For seven years, I loved Eric, but we didn’t exchange a single word for six of those years. Do you think I wasn’t scared to death that I was going to lose him all over again? That I still don’t wake up every morning with that nagging voice in the back of my mind saying it could be ripped away?”

“How do you deal with it?”

He shrugs and presses another kiss against the top of Eric’s head. “I realized I had a choice—to let fear dictate my life or to have faith that he meant it when he said he loved me. And I chose the second.” His eyes bore into mine as he meets them in the mirror. “You deserve to be happy, Dante.”

I huff a humorless laugh. “You sound like Theo.”

“Trust him.”

“Easier said than done,” I mutter.

“You’ll learn.” The confidence in his voice makes me want to believe him, and I’m captivated by the way his eyelids flutter closed as he leans against Eric. They make it look so effortless… so simple. As he drifts off to sleep, he smiles as he mumbles, “He’s strong enough to make you learn.
