“Congratulations to our baby Queenie on a successful show!” Stella threw her arms around Queenie, grinning
from ear to ear. Justin and Cole flanked the dressing room door, empty confetti poppers in hand, while Alessia
appeared, walking over with a cake she must have prepared in
secret.
“You did great.” Alessia’s smile was gentle, her eyes full of pride.
She remembered the girl who once sat in a hospital room, staring out the window, sketching designs to pass the
time. That girl had grown up-talented now, and more importantly, healthy.
Life was fragile. Alessia never made promises about forever. She just wanted to becstrong enough to hold
up an umbrella for her friends and family, to shield them however she could, so they could savor the present-
free, happy, and unburdened.
Moments like this were enough. Everyone was healthy, everyone was chasing dreams down their own path,
laughter and hope lighting up their
faces.
Almost as if he'd read her mind, Cole slipped over and wrapped Alessia in his arms, pressing a kiss to the top of
her head, wordlessly making a promise only she could understand.
Back at the apartment, the only light cfrom the TV flickering in the dark.
The door beeped as the lock disengaged.

Liam let his hand fall away from the switch, swapped his shoes for slippers, and wandered in, a bag dangling
from his wrist.
“What'd you bring?”
“Beer. Figured you might need it.”
He'd gotten the message while still on the road; by the the wrapped up work, everything was already over.
Instead of heading hto catch up on sleep, he grabbed scanned beer and cstraight here.
Both of them lived in apartments arranged by A&C
Entertainment-secure, off-limits to paparazzi and overzealous fans, free for company artists and with all the
comforts you could want.
Tristan scoffed and shifted upright, leaving a spot open on the couch.
Liam didn’t stand on ceremony. He dropped into the seat and handed
Tristan a can.
“This isn’t even cold?” Tristan grumbled, unimpressed.
“You know what your stomach’s like. | don’t need us trending on social media for the wrong reasons-‘Liam
sabotages Tristan with booze to steal his spotlight, lands him in the hospital.”
“You haven't been in the business long, but you sure have those clickbait headlines down,” Tristan muttered as
he cracked open the can and took a
swig.
Liam just shrugged. They both sat in silence, eyes on the screen, nursing their drinks.
They lived a floor apart. Tristan seemed easygoing, but in reality, he kept to himself, barely interacting with
anyone. If not for being Alessia’s brother, he probably wouldn't have exchanged more than a few words
with Liam.
They were colleagues, nothing more. That they'd beceven this close was a fluke.

As he stepped out of the elevator, he spotted Tristan bundled up and stumbling out.
“You okay?” Liam asked, reaching out instinctively to steady him.
Tristan recognized Liam's voice and straightened, forcing a casual grin.
“Hey, just got back? What'd you buy?” He played it cool, though his hands were icy cold.
