The announcement almost made Abigail say no.
Almost.
The flyer had been hanging on the music department bulletin board for over a week.
A student showcase.
Open to all performers.
Original music encouraged.
A chance for students to perform in front of faculty, family, friends, and members of the local community.
Normally, Abigail would have signed up immediately.
Before everything happened, she loved performing.
Loved it.
The nerves.
The excitement.
The energy.
The feeling of standing under stage lights with a song that belonged entirely to her.
But now?
Now she found herself staring at the sign every day without writing her name down.
Every day she walked past it.
Every day she stopped.
Every day she kept walking.
Until Ashley got involved.
Which was honestly the most predictable part of the entire story.
"What do you mean you're not doing it?"
Ashley stood in the middle of the penthouse living room looking personally offended.
Abigail looked up from her notebook.
"I mean I'm not doing it."
Ashley blinked.
"No."
"What?"
"No."
Abigail laughed.
"You don't get to decide that."
Ashley pointed dramatically.
"Actually I do."
"You absolutely don't."
Megan looked up from the couch.
"She's got a point."
"Thank you," Abigail said.
"I meant Ashley."
Abigail immediately looked betrayed.
Emma sat quietly nearby watching the entire conversation unfold.
Trying not to smile.
Failing.
Badly.
Ashley pointed toward her.
"Tell her."
Emma looked at Abigail.
Then smiled softly.
"You should do it."
Abigail groaned.
"Traitor."
Emma laughed.
"I'm serious."
The room grew quieter.
Abigail looked down.
Emma immediately noticed the shift.
The uncertainty.
The fear.
