The drive to campus felt different this time.
Not easier.
Just heavier.
The previous afternoon had ended with administration informing them that a former student had agreed to cooperate with the investigation.
A former student who had originally declined.
A former student whose experience apparently mattered enough that the dean himself had personally called Abigail afterward.
Now they were on their way to meet her.
Neither Abigail nor Emma had talked much during the drive.
Both were thinking about the same thing.
What if her story sounded exactly like Abigail's?
What if it didn't?
What if this really was bigger than any of them realized?
The questions sat heavily between them as Emma pulled into a parking space outside the administration building.
"You okay?" Emma asked quietly.
Abigail stared out the window for a moment.
"No."
Emma appreciated the honesty.
After everything that had happened, pretending felt pointless.
Emma reached over and squeezed her hand.
"We don't have to do this alone."
Abigail looked over at her and managed a small smile.
"I know."
A few minutes later they were walking through the administration building once again.
The dean met them in the hallway.
"Thank you both for coming."
Abigail nodded.
Emma offered a polite smile.
The dean led them toward a smaller conference room than usual.
"This isn't a formal proceeding," he explained as they walked.
"It's just a conversation."
A conversation.
Somehow that made Abigail more nervous.
The dean stopped outside the room.
Then opened the door.
And both Abigail and Emma froze.
Immediately.
Emma looked at Abigail.
Abigail looked at Emma.
Then both looked back into the room.
Because sitting at the conference table was someone they both recognized instantly.
Not because of the investigation.
Because she was famous.
Very famous.
Jade Monroe.
Award-winning singer.
Multi-platinum recording artist.
One of the biggest names in music.
Someone whose songs Abigail had listened to for years.
Someone who sold out arenas.
