Hours later, Trihn’s phone lit up.

She looked up, bleary-eyed, at the display. She had been staring at her designs all night. She had made some headway on a few, but overall, she felt like she was too close to the clothes to really see how she needed to move forward.

She reached for the phone and answered it, “Hey.”

“Trihn, fuck, I’m so sorry. I meant to call you back hours ago,” Damon said.

“Oh, that’s okay,” she lied. “I’ve just been at the studio. What have you been up to?”

“Chloe’s manager called me. I was on the phone with him when you called me, and then when I got off the phone, Chloe called right away.”

“Really?” she asked.

“Yeah. So weird that Chloe Avana called me. What is my life?” He laughed huskily. “We talked for a while. She was on her way to New Orleans for the last stop on her tour.”

“Great.” She lacked all emotion in her voice.

“Are you okay?”

“Yep.” No.

“Okay,” he said softly. “Well, they listened to the other stuff I’d sent over, and they liked it. They’re going to take it to the studio heads to see what happens. Still no guarantees, but Chloe thought that meant I should hear soon what they want to do.”

“Did she think that?” Trihn knew she sounded catty, but she couldn’t help it. She had been trying so hard to be happy about all of this. Her near panic attack earlier was making her bitchier than normal. Not to mention, she couldn’t remember the last time she had eaten.

“Okay…you seem upset. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she snapped.

“It doesn’t sound like nothing.”

“I’m just tired and hungry. I need to get out of the studio and get some sleep or something.”

“Why don’t you come over here? I can make you something, and we can talk about this.”

“I really don’t want to talk right now.”

He sighed heavily. “I don’t want you to go to sleep angry.”

“I’m not angry,” she practically shouted. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Fuck, she needed to calm down.

“Trihn, just come over. I can tell you’re upset. I want talk to you in person about what’s going on in that head of yours. I don’t want this to simmer between us.”

Trihn grumbled and started packing up all her stuff. “Fine. I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.”

She gathered up the last of her supplies, locked her designs up in her assigned locker, and then carried her sketchbook with her out of the studio. She hurried across the quad and down a long pathway until she reached the parking lot ten minutes later.

Her nerves were shot by the time she pulled up in front of Damon’s apartment. The drive had cleared her thoughts. Too long in the studio coupled with her issues with relationships and Damon’s newfound success hadn’t done well for her psyche.

She felt pretty stupid that she’d let everything get to her and that she had snapped at Damon when he was just excited about his blossoming opportunities in the music industry.
