AN HOUR later because of traffic, Gray’s car—he’d insisted they went in his—rolled down West Peachtree Street and slowed, signaling he was going to turn left. Seb watched as they pulled into the parking deck belonging to Center Stage. He knew the indoor arena held a thousand people, but Ethan Devlin could command many more than that. “Why this venue?”

“Smaller, you mean?” Gray asked, catching on straightaway. “It’s a thank-you exclusive. Fan club, competition winners, etcetera. One night only.”

“I’ve never been anywhere like this.” Seb tried to sit on his jittery hands, then pulled one out and gestured to his face. “Does your friend know?”

Gray nodded. “It’s no problem.”

Seb tried to breathe unobtrusively deeper as they walked from the car. His insides were doing summersaults, and he almost felt light-headed, but not in a sick giddy way—in a “so excited he was having an out-of-body experience” way. Seb wore an Adidas hoodie and kept the hood pulled as far over his head as it would go. Gray’s smile seemed confident, and while Seb’s dad’s money had shielded him over the years from a lot of reactions to his mark, when he was seen, he still had some.

Arron had once taken him to the clinic, and they had gotten into a minor scrape at a stop sign. Some woman with a car full of five overexcited kids got distracted and didn’t stop in time as Arron braked in front of her. The cops were there in five minutes. Arron had jumped out and tried to distract the cop, but the guy must have sensed something because Arron had his documents in his hand, away from the car. Seb thought afterward that it was pretty dumb. The cop came over to the car to look at Seb, and that’s when the shit hit the proverbial fan. The cop took one look at Seb and pulled his gun.

In seconds Seb was out of the car and facedown on the sidewalk. He hadn’t done anything wrong. Arron hadn’t done anything wrong, but Seb had thought he was going to die. Within seconds, it was a circus—eight cop cars in total and a big SWAT-type truck with some scary-ass dudes arrived. And all that time, Seb had lain with his face down in the dirt and wished he had the ability to disappear.

Finally his dad and Derwent arrived, showed guardianship papers, and generally threatened to sue the fuck out of the APD. Only then were the guns holstered and Seb allowed to get to his feet. Seb had been a mess. He wanted to crawl into a hole. He had barely held it together because no one seemed to care he couldn’t hear them, and just barking instructions when he couldn’t see their lips properly didn’t help.

Derwent had bundled him into his dad’s limo as soon as he was released and driven them home. It took nearly six weeks before Seb left the house again.
