[one week later]

Paris, Hattie, Harley, and Daphne all went to Bryson's hometown show. It was amazing to see how the crowd knew every word to his songs and how full the place was. Paris was so proud of Bryson's hard work.

After the show, Hattie took the girls home because Paris said she had a surprise for Bryson.

He still had some things to take care of, team wise, so he met her at afterwards. She was at a small little restaurant about an hour away from Hattie's house that she had talked to the owner about opening after hours.

"I didn't thank I was at the right place. I didn't see any cars in the parking lot. Where's your rental?" He asked once he walked into the restaurant.

"It's out there," she smiled, embracing him in a hug and giving a peck on his lips, "What do you think?"

"About your lip gloss, it tastes good."

"No, silly. The restaurant! The owner, Mr.York, his daughters are huge Bryson Tiller fans. He said it was an honor to lend us the restaurant for the night." She explained.

"That's dope." He nodded, sitting down in a chair across from her.

They received their food and began to eat in a peaceful quietness. Eventually, Bryson sat back in his seat and stared at Paris for a while.

"What?" She chuckled.

"I miss the old you sometimes." He said. The smile on her slowly faded and she cleared her throat.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, being home really got me thinking of how we used to be; late nights on the roof, hanging out all day together, long talks, I miss that." He shrugged.

"Well, I didn't change, our situations changed." She explained, "I went to school, you stayed here, then you moved to Miami."

"Yea, but because of all of that you're not the same person, I'm not either and there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that sometimes I miss it."

"Oh." She said simply, looking down at her food. It was clear that he had made her a little upset.

He sighed and stood up, reaching for her hand, "Dance with me."

She looked up at him funny, "You don't even know what they're saying."

"But it sounds like they're talking about love..." He told her.

"That doesn't make sense, Bryson." She said, taking his hand and standing up.

"Sure it does." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him, "Love is a feeling. It's the way you feel when you look at somebody you care about. How I feel when I look at you. That's what I try to do with my music. Regardless of whether you understand it or not, you feel it in your soul."

"Do you always feel it?" She asked, looking at his chest.

"I do. Like you used to, Paris."

Every time I go away I carry your photographs next to my skin
To see them every time that your absence eats my whole heart away
And I can't help but love you

And while I'm far away, I can see you
When I sit down and see your photos
And in the stars, I can see your eyes
When I sit down and see your photos

Every time I look for you, you're gone
And every time I phone you, you're not there
That's why I should say that you are only in my photos
Every time I look for you, you're gone
And every time I phone you, you're not there
That's why I should say that you are only in my photos

Whenever there's a bare abyss between us
I rely on the taciturn memory of your voice
And again I feel lovesick
my heart can't help but to love you

And while I'm far away, I can see you
When I sit down and see your photos
And in the stars, I can see your eyes
When I sit down and see your photos

Every time I look for you, you're gone
And every time I phone you, you're not there
That's why I should say that you are only in my photos
Every time I look for you, you're gone
And every time I phone you, you're not there
That's why I should say that you are only in my photos
