In that moment, I could see into the possible future of Untapped Potential. I could see Harry and Vincent performing on a much bigger stage, playing for a much bigger turnout than tonight’s. Natasha would be there too, I thought. But Addy would definitely be there, either in the front row or just offstage.

I swayed a little in my seat with the soft drum beats Vincent interjected, watching Harry’s fingers as they strummed each string.

Harry was my singer boyfriend, and the realization was only just sinking in. His dedication to his craft showed in each strum of his guitar, in the crinkles by his eyes, in the deep and lovely tone of his voice. He was so passionate, so easy to long for.

Because here in my booth, I wanted nothing more than to travel back in time to last night, to that moment after his mouth met mine and before Jamie’s bedroom light flicked on.

When that song ended, they switched back over to their more lively music, but that lulling first melody left me feeling as light as a feather.

I hated how fast the gig seemed to pass, the songs flying by. Harry’s gaze had strayed my way throughout the songs, and I mouthed the lyrics along with his singing. I couldn’t quite tell, but it almost looked like he smiled.

When they started their last song of the night, I turned to Addy. “I’m going to go get a refill before Jon dumps the coffee,” I said, raising my mug in case she hadn’t heard me over the music.

Addy ended up nodding, watching as I pushed to my feet. The crowd parted to let me slip by, filling in immediately behind me. I lifted my wig a little away from the skin on my neck, relishing in the cool sensation that swept across my skin.

A guy sat at the counter, and as I got closer, I noticed Jonathan speaking intently with him. The stranger leaned his head against his hand, totally captivated in conversation.

Jonathan saw me lingering, though. “Stella,” he greeted, welcoming me closer with a wave of his hand. “A refill?”

“Yes, please,” I told him, passing my mug over, glancing at the sitting figure. The guy’s eyes were a steely blue, blond stubble dotting his jaw and chin. He appeared to be in his early twenties, roughly the same age as Jonathan. “You here for the music?”

“I am,” he responded, voice pleasant and soft. “Or, well, the singer.”

I felt my eyebrows lift. “You’re here for Harry?”

Jonathan sat the refilled mug in front of me. “They’re old friends,” he told me, glancing at the customer. “Go way back.”

I nearly smiled at that. So, they’d been talking about life stories, huh?

The guy flashed Jonathan a warm smile, turning back to me with an outstretched hand. “I’m Terry.”

Terry. I knew that name. “Harry’s mentioned you. I’m Stella.” I slipped my hand into his.

“Stella is Harry’s girlfriend,” Jonathan added before I could say anything else.

I opened my mouth to interject, but the words fell apart on the tip of my tongue.
