With *your* face and body? You’ll never make what you make now!
Juliette
I don’t care. No amount of money would make modeling for DG worth it.
I typed the next words out harder and faster than anything previously.
Juliette
You have to promise me you won’t become the Sunburst.
Fallon
What? Why? You know that’s my dream!
Fallon
What kind of friend doesn’t want her bestie to live her dreams?
Juliette
Trust me, you don’t want it. Please promise me.
“Jules?” Griffin called. “Juliette?”
I held my breath ashe jogged by.
Fallon
I don’t understand any of this.
Juliette
Promise me.
“Jules?” Charlie yelled from the other side of the church.
Then Theo, Cash, and Maggie.
“Juliette?” Bowen jogged past, not seeing me. “Juliette!”
They probably thought I’d been kidnapped, but I couldn’t go until I got Fallon’s next message. Shehadto promise.
When the text appeared, I wasn’t ready for it.
Fallon
I can’t promise you that.
My fingers flew across the screen.
Juliette
You don’t want it! DG isn’t what you think they are.
Fallon
I’m sorry you’re jaded or whatever, okay? Being a model is hard. But they’ve been really good to us. I’m not turning back on my dreams, J. I didn’t come this far only to come this far.
