Leanne, with her trademark cool detachment, texted back, “A secret,” and promptly ended

“Babe, get your stuff together, I’ll be at your doorstep in ten! My boss hooked us up with two tickets to the theater. I’m taking you out for some culture!”

Leanne glanced at the display, “What’s this song?”
“Lose You to Love Me,” Joy said, her favorite. “Have you never heard it?”
