“I can’t believe Logan actually quit yesterday,” Jaya said, her brown eyes wide and stunned.

“He did,” I said.

Holliday, who was sitting across the lunch table from us, exchanged a concerned glance with Jaya. “He’ll probably change his mind,” she said uncertainly.

It was exactly what Portia had said when I told her. Mom had said, “Give Logan some time,” and Dad had told me not to think about it until we talked to Zane. But Aubrey had almost cried when she heard, and Mason’s face had darkened into an angry storm cloud.

“It’s Logan’s loss,” he’d said, giving me a hug. “You don’t need him, anyway.”

I wasn’t sure if I believed that, but the day after my fight with Logan, I’d woken up sure of one thing: “Even if Logan wasn’t serious about quitting,” I told Jaya and Holliday, “after the way he acted, I don’t ever want to perform with him again.”

“Of course not!” Jaya said, putting a protective arm around me.

Holliday leaned her chin in her hand. “That’s too bad,” she said. “You guys sounded great together.”

“So what? He treated Tenney badly,” Jaya said, her voice rising in indignation.

“I know,” Holliday said slowly. “But it also sounds like he was embarrassed. I know that sometimes when I get upset or feel bad about myself, it comes out as anger, and I end up saying things I regret.”

Her blue eyes met mine. I knew she was thinking about all the times she’d been mean to me, before we were really friends. “I’m not saying it’s okay,” Holliday continued, “but I understand a bit why Logan might have acted how he did. Right now, you’re upset, but if you step back and think about it, you might feel that way, too.”

“Maybe,” I said doubtfully.

But Holliday’s suggestion stayed with me as we threw out our lunch trash. Throughout the afternoon, I thought back to my fight with Logan. I wasn’t proud of how I’d lost my temper with him. I couldn’t help but wonder if he felt the same way.
