Present Day

* * *

The music drowned out my thoughts, and I wasn’t complaining.

At a bar in SoHo, we celebrated opening night of the month-long run of the Les Mis off-Broadway revival Jill had been rehearsing so hard. The show itself was amazing—the producers had staged the story in modern-day France and added guitars and drums to the orchestra.

Somehow not exhausted from a great performance, she and her castmates had grabbed guitars and jumped on stage to jam out to “One Day More” performed as a power ballad. Jill could handle a guitar—she jammed hard on her Stratocaster and the amps howled out chords. Reeve and Caden, the two guys who played Marius and Enjolras, whipped the audience into a frenzy. Caden, with dark-blond hair, led the song. When he reached the chorus, he thrust the mic toward the crowd and they all joined in with gusto. Most of them were in the cast, and anyone who called themselves a musical theater fan knew the words. I was pretty sure the non-theater people had bailed.

My brother, Nate, was over at the bar refilling our drinks. I raised an arm and sang along, the whole lot of us jammed together in front of the tiny stage. Caden was a certified babe in an arty sort of way. He was tall and lanky, wore hipster jeans and a T-shirt with a vest. His hair was deliciously disheveled. Jill had mentioned him before, and that he was good-looking. She’d also said she had no interest in dating him because it was a bad idea to get involved with people you work with. Good advice indeed.

Caden was the total opposite of Bryan Leighton and his hot-and-cold, business-before-romance attitude. He had called me a few times after I took off from his factory that afternoon, but I didn’t pick up. He’d emailed too, wanting to know where I was. If I was okay. If something was wrong.
