After we were both clean and dressed, I didn’t know what to do. I stood there fidgeting with my hands. Ren finished buttoning up his jeans and noticed. He took my hands in his and pressed a soft, quick kiss to my lips.

“Can I have that glass of water now?” I asked.

He laughed. “Sure. I’ll get you something.”

I followed him into the kitchen, not wanting to let him out of my sight. I didn’t want to be that girl, but I figured I had some right to be clingy after what we just did.

Ren passed me a bottle of water and I sat down at his kitchen table. He took a seat across from me. It was oddly formal, but he reached across the table and took my hand, rubbing his thumb over my knuckles. Even after everything, that small touch still had the power to make me blush.

“I had an idea,” he said.

“About?” More sexy stuff?

“About your situation.”

My heart sank. I pulled my hands away, not wanting to get into another argument. “I already told you—”

“Not the scholarship. I’m talking about something else.”

“What is it?” Maybe he was going to force the event company to hire me after all, although I couldn’t let him do that either.

“Let’s forget about the scholarship for now. What if there was another way for you to make money?”

I was skeptical, but willing to listen.

“What if we do a duet?”

“A…duet?"

“Jayce is always doing these acoustic versions of our songs. They’re really popular. I’ve always wanted to do a classical version. What if we composed a song together? I could play piano and you could play cello. We could release it as a digital-only single. I'll pay you for your work.”

Piano and cello were often paired together for duets. I thought about it for a moment, tempted, but there was a voice in the back of my head that said I would still be using Ren. I couldn’t let some rich boy swoop in and rescue me like in all those ridiculous TV shows and movies. I shook my head.

“That’s not going to work.”

“Why not?”

“I need to do this on my own.”

Ren bolted up from the kitchen chair and paced, growling. “Why are you so stubborn?”

“I don’t need your charity.”

“It’s not charity!” The frustration was evident in his voice.

“Why are you so determined to solve this for me?”

“You need help. I can do something about it.”

“I don’t need you to fix all my problems for me!”

“You wouldn’t answer my calls!” Ren burst out, running a hand through his hair.

I frowned, confused at the change of subject. “What’s that got to do with anything?”

“I was worried I’d never hear from you again. I thought if I helped you, maybe—”

A lightbulb went off in my head. I didn’t want to consider it, but I had to ask. “Did you think I’d only be with you if you paid my tuition?”

His face registered hurt, but there was also a hint of guilt. Indignation punched through my chest.

“I can’t
