When we made it back to the bus, everything was quickly loaded. Charlotte—I mean, Dreamer—was already on the bus, dressed in a pair of shorts and an oversized band hoodie.

She was blindfolded again, but it didn’t slow her down as she told Knight and Hero all about her day with Helen, sewing buttons and patching tears, then making her own mask. She told them her plans for it, which sounded amazing.

It was easy to see that she had the soul of an artist. There was already a finished little book nook in a rarely used cabinet beneath the kitchen counter. It was a tiny little library, glued together carefully, with working lights and everything. It was pretty cool.

We didn’t know much about her history, but what she’d dropped in conversation told me she hadn’t had a great upbringing. If she’d been given the same opportunities as us, would she be where we were now?

Rich-person guilt was such a fucking cop-out. All I could do was insist we kept the ticket prices to our concerts affordable for everyone, and give the woman in front of me a chance to do whatever it was she wanted.

“Sounds like it’s going to be beautiful, Lottie. I can’t wait to see you in it and nothing else,” Knight purred, and her whole body flushed. Her lips parted as she leaned into the warmth of his body.

“Hero, grab the snacks! It’s party time.” Knight pouted, but I shook my head at him. Fuck off, I mouthed, and he laughed again. He made a rude gesture with his fingers, and I flipped him the bird in return. “Hero and I will wear our masks so you can watch,” I told Dreamer, as I led her to her room, grabbing my laptop from my bed on the way past.

She kept her space incredibly clean, her bed made, her clothes tucked into the drawers. Pulling my mask from my pocket, I slipped it on.

“Okay, you’re free to see,” I murmured to her, pushing down the residual guilt that she had to be sightless for most of our interactions. “I meant what I said earlier, though. We’re just having a chilled-out night—nothing more is expected from you, unless that’s what you want.” I winced, glad she couldn’t see my face. Man, there was no good way to
