Chapter twenty

Erik

She has a sense of humor.

Remy doesn’t laugh. He’s slamming his hands against the steering wheel, breath coming hard.

I lean back against the truck and let it settle.

She’s real. He knows it now too.

That changes things.

I have the music.

Now I need to finish the composition.

And the play.

Remy is out of the truck, already pulling up a rideshare app on his phone.

He snatches the note from my hand, crumples it, and throws it to the ground.

I meet his gaze, a smirk still tugging at my mouth.

“This shit isn’t funny.”

“Kind of is.”

“Our ride will be here in two minutes.”

I say nothing.
