Lyric doesn’t sleep. She’s restless and rises at least dozen times to go to the bathroom, for no other reason than to get up. I can tell her mind is working a million miles an hour, and it makes my heart ache, but there’s nothing I can do. She’s refusing my comfort. Doesn’t want to talk about it. She’s mad. She cries. But she’s silent.

When she slides the silky white comforter from her body and leaves our bed for what feels like the hundredth time, I sit up and wait. Her feet barely make a noise as she sneaks across the marble floor, stopping just long enough to shut the door behind her and flip on the light. Even in her despair she’s worried about waking me up.

After a few minutes of hideous silence in a California King bed that feels far too empty, I stand and follow her tracks across the room. As soon I approach the bathroom, the light through the crack at the bottom of fades to black and the door opens to reveal my beautiful, puffy-eyed girl.

She sees me but avoids eye contact as she tries to move around me, so I step to the side to catch her and wrap my arms around her instead.

“Not right now,” she pleads.

This time I don’t listen. I tighten my hold and bury my nose in the long, wavy strands of her sun-kissed brown hair near her ear. Lyric still smells the way she did after her shower, of green apple shampoo and apricot face wash. Sexy and vibrant and good. Just like her. Seeing her like this is like taking a blow to my gut.

“I promise you, Lyric, we’re going to get your songbook back. If that woman even thinks about stealing another song from you, she’s going to pay for it.”

Lyric lets out a choked breath, and I pull her even closer. Her weight falls into me, letting me hold her as she plants her face in the crook of my arm and cries. “Why can’t she just leave me alone?”

My jaw clenches. “She’s sick, Lyric. There’s no use making sense of her actions. I don’t think it’s possible. What I do know is that you’ve got more talent and heart inside you than she’s ever had. It must drive her crazy to have a daughter with more talent in her pinky than she does in her entire body.”

Lyric shakes her head. “Stop. That can’t possibly be true,” she says, and I hate that she gives her mother this power. “Destiny spent an entire decade in the limelight. She had everything she could possibly want. And then I came along and she acts like I ruined her life just by existing.”

What do I need to do to convince Lyric of how amazing she is? That her mother is nothing but a washed-up mess who had promise, but zero heart to back it up. Looks and talent can only get you so far in this industry and Destiny’s time ran out.
