When the credits rolled, Tristan queued up another movie.
“We've already seen this one. Pick something else.” Liam tossed his empty soda can and nailed the shot straight
into the trash.
Tristan rolled his eyes but obliged, scrolling through the options and switching movies.
“Don’t you have any work this afternoon?” Tristan stretched out on the couch, making himself more comfortable
as the opening scene played.
“Nope. Once this is over, I'm heading hto catch up on ssleep.”
“By the way, your food delivery ended up at my place. Grab it on your way out.”
“That was on purpose. There's stuff that needs to stay in the freezer-if | left it at my place, it'd go bad before |
got back.”
Their conversation drifted lazily, neither of them bothering with much energy or inflection.
“Oh, by the way, that trending scandal died down-it’s been cleared up.”
The abrupt change of subject caught Tristan off guard. He paused.
“Really?” Since the company had called him yesterday, they'd confiscated his social media accounts. He hadn't
bothered to defend himself, just followed orders and switched off his phone.
“So, how'd they fix it?”
“Lessie’s assistant found a video of you with a whole group of people that day.” Liam pulled out his phone and
handed it over for Tristan to watch.
“Well, that’s a lucky break.” Tristan handed the phone back, a half-smile flickering across his face, but he didn’t
seem especially bothered.

“How did you and Lessie even meet?”
Liam couldn't help asking; it had been eating at him for a while.

“You don’t know? Makes sense, actually. Alessia’s never been one to talk
about stuff like that.”
Tristan looked puzzled for a moment, but then nodded as if it all made sense. He sat up, hugging a pillow to his
chest, eyes still on the TV.
“I met her in the slums, believe it or not. | was bored, teaching a few kids sold songs, when she just
marched right up toand said she wanted to makea star. Asked if I'd go with her. And | thought, well, she
looked so clean and polished-obviously cfrom money-so she probably wasn’t going to kidnapor
anything. So | went.”
Tristan grinned, glancing at Liam.
“You know, it’s funny. You really can’t raise two kids in the sfamily and get the spersonality. The look on
her face was exactly the sas yours when you broughtsoup that first time.”
Tristan coughed, then tried to keep a straight face as he mimicked Alessia’s formal tone. “My name's Alessia. |
run a company. You've got a great voice, and | want to help you beca singer. Room and board included, I'll
write your songs-interested?”
He nailed her expression and voice, right down to the business-like air.
Even back then, living in the slums,
he could tell she was the real deal-a

like he could actually becsomething. Even Tristan, who'd always looked out for himself, couldn't help
wanting to prove to Alessia that she’d made the right choice.
And he'd been proving it ever since.
Liam listened, nodding. “That sounds exactly like Lessie.”
Tristan chuckled. “Doesn't it? That's why | never worry about these stupid rumors. | don’t know how, but Alessia
always makesfeel like
everything's under control. Like she can fix anything-even though she’s only nineteen.”
