“What exactly just happened?” I ask as we roll down the long driveway toward the main road.

“I’m still wondering myself,” CeCe says. “Did we just get the kind of break that people wait years for?”

“I think we did.”

“But we’re not actually a group,” I say, starting to panic, “and how are we going to become one before five o’clock this afternoon?”

“I don’t know, but we are,” I say.

“Are you talking about Sarah as the fourth person?” CeCe asks.

“Yeah,” I say, and just saying it out loud makes me realize how ridiculous it is to think that she’ll even consider doing it. After the argument we’d had this morning before I left, it’ll be amazing to me if she hasn’t already left to drive back to Atlanta.

“Do you think she will?” CeCe asks.

“She has to,” I say.

“What if she won’t?”

“Let’s not even think that right now.”

“I really don’t see her wanting to be on a stage with me.”

She’s right, but how can I admit that? We’ve just been handed an opportunity that we might never get again. Just to be heard by Case Phillips, not to mention being considered as a project he’s willing to develop.

“Shouldn’t you call Thomas?” CeCe asks.

I pull my phone from my pocket and tap the screen for his number. He answers with a groggy, “Hello?”

“Are you still in the sleeping bag?”

“What? You’re speaking to me now?”

“Not out of choice,” I say.

“Maturity never was your thing,” he grumbles.

“You’re not going to believe this, but Case Phillips just asked us to play for him this afternoon at five o’clock.”

“What?”

Thomas is awake now. I smile. “He’s looking to put together a group. The only thing we have to do before this afternoon is talk Sarah into auditioning with us.”

“Oh, no problem,” Thomas says, blowing out a sigh. “I’ll run on over to Music Row and see if I can hunt down Miranda Lambert while I’m at it.”

“She’s still there, right?” I ask.

“Somebody’s running the shower in your room.”

“Good. Don’t let her leave, okay. We’ll be there in fifteen minutes.”

“We’ve never all played together,” CeCe says as I drop my phone in my shirt pocket.

“We’ve never all had an opportunity like this,” I say. “It’s like winning the lottery. How many times do you win the lottery?”

“Odds are never.”

“Exactly,” I say. I just hope I can convince Sarah of this.

SHE’S AT THE DOOR with her suitcase when we get back.

“Where are you going?” I ask, as if I don’t already know.

“Back to Atlanta,” she says, glancing at CeCe and then forcing her gaze on me.

“Did Thomas tell you what just happened?” I ask.

“Yes. And I don’t see what that has to do with me.”

“We need you to audition with us, Sarah. He’s looking for a group. Two guys. Two girls.”

Sarah tightens her grip on her purse strap and says, “This has always been your dream. It was never mine. And I came here for you. Not to be part of some ridiculous rainbow-chasing.”

The words cut. I can’t deny it. I’m
