SMS — Darcy to J.J.
March 6
Darcy — 4:04P.M.
There is absolutely no pressure here
J.J. — 4:04P.M.
I’m intrigued…
Darcy — 4:05P.M.
You know how we’ve had some surprise special guests over the last few weeks?
J.J. — 4:05P.M.
Mhmmm
Darcy — 4:05P.M.
Would you have any interest in being one?
Emerson brought it up, actually
J.J. — 4:06P.M.
Wow so your best friend had to suggest to you that I be a special guest in your show. That hurts
Darcy — 4:06P.M.
Well my best friend doesn’t know that you also have Harrison looking over your shoulder. I didn’t know if you’d want to perform with us (with ME). Didn’t know if that would make things… more inflammatory
Hence, why I said: no pressure
But. You know I would love if you performed with us
I love singing with you, Juliet
J.J. — 4:07P.M.
I do, too
And I’m in.
When do you want me there?
Darcy — 4:08P.M.
Literally always
Blythe says “you come to a ton of shows anyway, so take your pick”
Chapter Thirty-Four
“Whytodayof all days,”Juliet grumbled on the phone to Laura, as she jammed her thumb against her eyebrow ridge as if it would work to relieve the throbbing, sickening pressure there.
Her assistant was silent for several seconds, before she asked, “Is this a real question or rhetorical?”
