Trevante walks up to accept the trophy but he is livid. The whole point was for them to come to the competition and win the grand prize for the school. Not only for the money but to uphold the reputation of The Williams Conservatory for the Arts. 

There is a round of applause for the troupe as the host moves on to the grand prize winners. The group tunes the rest of the competition out and dwell on the fact that the trip was practically a bust. However, their work is not done, they still have to find out where Tyler is and what the reason is, but only one of the dancers knows the reason. 

Rodney steps out to try and text Tyler, however, there is no reply.

He is sporting a crisp black blazer over a white shirt with no tie and black pants. His buttons were undone to his sternum revealing is broad and buff chest. Some things just never change, Michael thought. 

"Over here," Morris says raising his hand to get Michael's attention. 

Michael walks over and he is doing his best to contain the butterflies in his stomach. This moment was almost reminiscent of the first time they met each other. The uncertainty and the unknown of what was going to come from this meet up has both of the men questioning where they stand with each other. 

"Hey," Michael says to Morris with a tone of timidity.

"Thanks for joining me," Morris says with a smile spread across his face.
