Chapter Twelve

It wasn’t until Rae, Jori, and Kaoli convened mid‌-‌week outside the yoga barn that Rae realized the space she’d been practicing in with Jori was in use.

“I should have checked the schedule,” Rae said as the workshop attendees stretched their arms wide while Sierra urged them to relax their ribs. She had checked it, but when she’d seen “Freeing the Voice Workshop” on the calendar, she’d assumed the yoga barn would be available since the non‌-‌yoga workshops were always held in the lodge’s multipurpose rooms, not here. She hadn’t counted on yoga being part of a singing class, although it did make a weird kind of sense. Clearly she’d had no idea how far Sierra and Melanie were willing to push their creativity to reach new customers.

“Where to?” Kaoli asked.

“We could check the multipurpose rooms,” Jori said. “Move the furniture out of the way.”

Rae had tried to talk Jori out of joining them, telling her she didn’t want to impose, but she’d lost. Jori wanted to help her demonstrate the dance moves they’d worked out together, she’d said, and she wanted to make sure Rae stayed off her feet. Both of which were unnecessary, but not unwelcome.

“Those rooms are already in use,” Rae said. “I heard singing in there on my way here.”

Jori pushed her hands through the shock of hair at the top of her head and continued down the fuzzy sides to rub the back of her neck. “How about we practice outside? On the grass somewhere. Or the parking lot.”

“We can’t dance on grass.” She hated to be negative, but…‌ “Or gravel. Our shoes have to slide.” She was starting to think they might not have a choice, though. Maybe grass would work if she was careful with her ankle.

“Did I see a band shell in town?” Kaoli said. “That might have a wooden floor.”

“That’s a great idea,” Rae said. Leave it to Kaoli to take note of anything resembling a stage.

“Okay then,” Kaoli said. “What are we waiting for?”

“What about your bodyguard?” Jori said. “Don’t you need him?”

“He woke up with a stomach flu.” Kaoli touched her throat and shuddered. “I’m staying as far away from his germs as possible.”

“What happens if someone recognizes you?”

Kaoli shrugged like Jori was overreacting. “I’m supposed to be on tour. The undesirables won’t be stalking me here.”

What did she mean, she wouldn’t be stalked? Photographers had stalked her to this very location to take that misleading photo of her kneeling by the pool to kiss Rae’s forehead. But Rae didn’t bother pointing that out, because Kaoli knew better than anyone that if she wanted the public to believe they were dating each other, then they needed to be seen together. And that was the real reason Kaoli wasn’t afraid to practice outside: she wanted to be seen. And it wouldn’t be a problem. Maybe Jori didn’t realize it, but most of the time, Kaoli didn’t really need a tough‌-‌looking guy to follow her around. One day she’d be famous
