Amanda’s POV:

Alan hurried off, probably still struggling with that soothing melody.

Jennifer tugged me toward the registration desk. While she checked her information with the staff, I sneaked out my phone and messaged Seven. “I looked at the score. I can complete it.”

Alice snorted inside my mind. “You softhearted fool. Didn’t you swear you weren’t going to help? And now look at you.”

I shoved the phone away like nothing happened and helped Jennifer finish her paperwork.

Once everything was done, Jennifer slung an arm around my shoulders. “Since you came with me, dinner’s on me! Let’s grab Clara and Emily and hit Monarch Lounge tonight!”

Exactly what I needed, so I nodded right away.

I texted Clara and Emily. Just like that, the whole afternoon felt lighter.

At Monarch Lounge, the private room was bright and noisy. Emily was screaming into the mic, Clara clapped along, and Jennifer curled up on the couch scrolling through songs.

I sat with a fruit plate, eating watermelon, and finally let their energy pull me in. I grabbed a mic and sang a little tune I used to hum back at Glacier Pack. I wrote it myself back when I hadn’t gone quiet yet. It was never released. Only Seven had heard it.

I had barely finished the chorus when Emily lunged at me, eyes sparkling. “Amanda! That was amazing! And that melody… it sounds just like my idol Avi!”

My heart lurched. The mic nearly slipped from my hand. “Don’t be ridiculous. I just made it up. How could I compare to Avi?”

I shoved the mic into Jennifer’s hands to change the subject. “Your turn. Didn’t you want to sing the latest hit?”

Alice cackled. “Relax. She has no clue you’re H. But I’ll admit, that voice of yours … you hide it well. You don’t sound like that when you

talk.”

Emily looked like she wanted to interrogate me more, but Clara pulled her back. “Let Amanda be humble, okay? Now hush. Let’s sing.”

I sighed and escaped to the bathroom.

But when I turned the corner, I spotted a woman in a red dress crouched on the floor, picking something up.

A tube of lipstick rolled to my feet. I bent down and handed it to her. “Miss, your lipstick.”

She lifted her head. Her features were so perfect she looked like a porcelain doll. She smiled softly. “Thank you, little one.”

Then she reached out and tucked a stray lock of my hair behind my ear. The gesture was gentle, intimate, practiced. “There. Much tidier.”

I forced a polite smile. “No problem.” I turned to walk away when I heard her calling someone, voice sugar-soft. “Samson, are you here? I’m in the third-floor hallway near the restroom. I’ll come find you.”

Samson?

I froze. Immediately, I thought of Samson Ortega.

Then I shook my head. Impossible. He was too cold, too serious. He wouldn’t have a … sweet- voiced friend like that.

Alice scoffed. “Men hide secrets all the time. Don’t overthink it.”

I pushed the idea away and returned to the hall-except Monarch Lounge was huge, and every hallway looked the same. After two full loops, I was officially lost.

As I pulled out my phone to call Jennifer, something caught my eye. A familiar figure stood outside a private room. It was Samson.

He wore a black casual suit, no tie, the top two buttons undone. Under the warm hallway lights, his side profile looked sharper, colder, impossibly handsome.

I called out without thinking. “Samson…”

He didn’t hear me. He was checking his phone. At that moment, the woman in the red dress glided up beside him.

She rose on her toes and pressed a light kiss to his cheek, then wrapped her arms around his. “Samson, sorry to keep you waiting.”

His body stiffened for a second. But he didn’t push her away. Instead, he rested a hand on her head, gently messing her hair like he was fond of her. They walked into the private room together, and the door closed behind them.

My heart tightened-like someone squeezing it hard, dull and painful.
