Quinn’s show is epic. It’s just her and her guitar on a stage. But it’s hands down, the best concert I’ve ever been to. And that’s all Quinn really needs.

Hundreds of people are packed into the club, and they’re here to see Quinn Foster.

And even though I’m here for Quinn, my treacherous eyes are only on one person.

Melody.

She is, without question, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known. I still see the girl I met six-years ago, but she’s grown into a fucking gorgeous goddess. There was a naïve innocence to her when we first met, and maybe it’s still there, but she’s also gained confidence.

And maybe a little skepticism.

Tonight, instead of braids, her long, blonde hair is up in a tight bun on the top of her head. She looks angelic and sinful at the same time, wearing a shimmering, silver dress with sheer sleeves and deep V that has me salivating. The short dress shows off her long, tan legs as she stands with the rest of the crowd.

And like everyone but me, her eyes are fixed on Quinn.

Her pouty mouth is slightly agape in awe of one of my best friends and her talent.

Growing up, we were never free, always chained to our backgrounds, trying to figure out how to help Logan pay his mom’s rent, how to get all of us out of the shithole foster homes we were in, how to get Rhys off the shit that overtook him.

We were shackled to that life.

That is, until we found our art, something that freed us.

For Quinn, it was music. It lights her face up and projects that brightness to the entire crowd because, up there on that stage, she’s no longer imprisoned.

For me, it’s photography. For Rhys and Logan, it’s ink.

I watch Melody lip sync the words along with Quinn. And, after all these years, suddenly something becomes very clear . . .

She’s been trapped in her own cage, one I put her in.

I move next to her and take her hand, startling her as she turns to look at me, confused and maybe a little angry. “What?”

It’s loud, so I lean in to her ear. “Come outside with me for a minute.”

She pulls back, away from me and looks into my eyes with more confusion. “What? No.”

“Please.”

I don’t beg, but I need to take care of this now before I lose my nerve.

She looks back at the stage. I see Rhys, Logan, and Blair’s eyes are on us. Melody huffs and nods, gesturing for me to take the lead.

Rhys shakes his head, but his eyes are back on Quinn before I even start walking. I know Logan isn’t happy with me right now, but he’ll forgive me.

We walk out of the club and onto the sidewalk, where some people are taking a quick smoke break.

“What, Sean? What couldn’t wait until after Quinn’s show?” She folds her arms over her chest, highlighting the deep V and the perfect cleavage I’m trying to ignore.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine, but I don’t want to miss any more of the show.
