My frown deepened as a chill went down my spine. Holy shit, what had I forgotten? What were we playing? Something from the new album? My mind began frantically racing through various tracks, wondering which one he was talking about.
The crowd was almost hysterical now. Luca gave them a satisfied smirk, knowing exactly how to work them. “Even better, I’m not the one singing it.”
My mind came to a screeching halt as Kai took up his guitar and handed it off to Luca. Even more confusing was the techie who appeared at my side, impatiently tugging at my instrument until I handed it over.
“Now, as Luca said,” Kai spoke into the mic, “this song isverynew. So new, in fact, it’s not technically finished. So, I’m going to ask you all to just…imagine the lovely bass line for now. Because not only are you all hearing it for the first time, but so is someone else. Someone who’s very important to me.”
I drew in a gasp, something that was echoed by about ninety thousand fans.
Kai pulled the mic from the stand before facing me. “Let’s not haveanyconfusion this time. Silas, this one’s for you.”

Now you’re telling me you’re changing stance
And I’m telling you that you are wrong
Because I’ve kept my heart close for too long
My hand wrapped around the back of his neck, pulling his forehead to mine. I hated that he still beat himself up for what happened. But who knew what might’ve happened if we hadn’t chosen the route we did. Would we have ended up right here? Where we were meant to be?
I’d like to think so…but there was no guarantee that would’ve happened. So I, for one, wasgratefulfor everything that had happened in our past. Grateful because it had led us here. To each other.
With me finally seeing him the way I was supposed to.
Now you’re fighting for me every day,
