The day passed in a lazy haze, with no more surprises. Oscar spent the time writing and thumbing through classic novels from the tiny bookshelf in the cabin. After a few hours, Justin went back to his room to take a nap. The ability of that vamp to sleep the day away was astonishing.

Sometime in the early evening, Trent grabbed his bag and fished out a big plastic binder full of sheet music. He flipped open to a piece about halfway through, studying the page slowly, his mouth shaping silent words as he ran through the phrasing.

Something about the sight of him made Oscar’s blood race. Trent was meant to sing. Even now, not making a sound, his musical intelligence and passion came through.

“What are you practicing?” Oscar asked.

“An aria from Faust,” Trent said, his eyes still glued to his binder. “My French piece for the audition.”

“If you want to sing out loud, you can.”

Trent glanced over from his pages. “I don’t have to…”

“I’d…I’d like to listen.” Oscar pulled on his left pointer finger nervously. “If you don’t mind. I know I’m your competition, so if you don’t want to…”

Trent stared at him with an uneasy look, as if he were deciding whether to try an unfamiliar and unappetizing new food. Ultimately, he turned and picked his bag back up, fishing out a small silver pitch pipe. He put it to his lips and sounded his starting note.

Trent made eye contact once with Oscar once again. He looked vulnerable, like he was about to reveal something intensely personal. Oscar was confused. He’d heard Trent sing many times, in class and in concert. Hell, they were working on a damn duet together. Maybe it was just that they were so close in the confines of the cabin, or maybe it was that it was for an audition that Oscar would also be attending.

Whatever the reason, Trent shook off the nervousness with a few quick blinks, stood up, and began to sing.

Avant de quitter ces lieux,

Sol natal de mes aïeux

A toi, seigneur et Roi des cieux

Ma sœur je confie,

Daigne de tout danger

Toujours, toujours la protéger

Cette sœur si cherie!
