I look down at the girl in my arms, unsure how she even got there. It was my doing, that’s for sure. One minute I was watching the concert, the next, her head was on my shoulder.

I really like having her so close.

The night had been a surprise. From meeting her roommate and getting the “don’t hurt my friend” overprotective glare from Maya’s boyfriend, to dealing with the paparazzi and then Lucy telling me so much about her past, nothing had gone according to plan.

My plan?

Pick her up, see a concert, have a little fun, go home.

Reality?

We were way off course.

And as much as I hate it when the band wraps up and the lights turn on, signaling the end of the concert, I’m also glad because I need to stop breathing in her amazing flowery scent and get some space so I can clear my head.

Lucy’s not a potential girlfriend. We’re working together on our careers, toward a specific goal. Not a relationship.

That’s what I tell myself as she sits up and stretches.

“I need to stop by the restroom on the way out, if that’s okay.”

“Sure,” I say, collecting the trash and leaving it in the basket. I pocket the note from Marissa. “I think it’s down this way.”

The area is packed with people but I see a few familiar faces anyway, and while I wait, I wave to Reese and Lilliana from the show.

“Dean!” Reese says, giving me a hug. “I saw you were here.”

“Oh yeah?” I scratch my neck.

“The paps were waiting at the VIP entrance. Someone must have told them we were coming.” She holds out her phone. Sure enough, there are a few pictures of me and Lucy walking in. “I think they were hoping Andrew Xavier would show up.”

“Was he?” He’s a big name on the show and I’ve never spoken much to him. He seems even more focused on his career than I am.

Lilliana shrugs. “I don’t know. He’s pretty elusive with his private time.”

“So Lucy Harrington, huh?” Reese says. “I’ve been wondering who the mystery girl from your ChattySnap pictures is. I never would have guessed it would be her.”

Lilliana makes a face at her friend. “It’s just a surprise. I mean, no one has seen her since she left the show and I heard she’s going back for the new season, Redemption something?”

“Total drama,” Reese says in a low voice. “I mean the show, not Lucy.”

Irritation swells. “Lucy and I have some mutual friends. You know we’re both from Ocean Grove.”

“Right, locals.” Lilliana says with a smile. “I’m sure she’s great. I mean, what Fiona put her through? I would have lost it too if someone made me shave my head.”

“It’s not different from what we go through,” Reese complains. “The show won’t let me do anything to mine without approval.”

“I don’t think it’s the same thing,” Lilliana says, glancing over my shoulder. “Oh, there she is.”

I turn and see Lucy talking to a girl and a guy. I don’t recognize them but it’s clear that she knows them.
