So, it actually was a little galling for her to think about.
And of all the people she hadn’t expected to be taught an example like this from, Juliet was near the top of the list.
“Can I come with you?” She asked.
Juliet darted her a look, obviously surprised, before she schooled her expression and returned it back to the road. Shewas quiet for several seconds, before she sighed. “You realize that if I say no, I’m literally depriving children with cancer and other serious ailments.”
“I guess you can’t say no, then.”
“I guess not,” Juliet’s tone was measured, before it lightened as she said, “Hey, one or two of them might even know who you are.”
Darcy shook her head, even as she laughed. She looked back down at her phone, rereading the message from Emerson.
Do you want to do it again?
Darcy – 11:29A.M.
Yeah… I think I do
Right here and now, she decided that Juliet wasn’t the only one of them who could plan a scenario like last night.
She was flying back to Tennessee tonight, but she’d be seeing Juliet in less than two weeks for the live performance of Shelby’s tribute album.
Just like everything so far, Juliet might have started it, but Darcy would take it further.

Chapter Sixteen
“Why is Serena Fisher even here?”Juliet whispered to Robbie, making sure to maintain her red-carpet smile.
She’d long mastered the ability to talk out of the corner of her mouth without being obvious about it, a skill that was always useful when she was at events with Robbie.
As was their standard at nearly every awards show – perfect places for maximum attention as a couple, frankly – she and Robbie were arm in arm during the pre-show. And, just as intended, the press was abuzz outside of the Palladium, hosting the Country and Folk Awards tonight.
Robbie laughed, then held that picturesque smile for the photographer shouting for their attention to their right. “What do you mean?” He asked through the bulbs flashing at them. “Serena’s always around.”
“I know.” She narrowed her eyes once they’d turned away from the closest media group. “That’s what I’m saying.”
She and Robbie had stopped to have a quick conversation with a handful of journalists since they’d arrived. Most of it was the standard questions. First, about their individual albums and tours and projects – Juliet’s favorite ones to answer, since she hadrealresponses.
Then came the others:
- But what about doing an entire album together, rather than just a song or two?!
o Public answer: laughter,never say never!, it would be such a dream if their timelines aligned for an entire album. Real answer: Juliet would rip Robbie’s hair out if she had to try to corral him for an entire album. Then, possibly, her own depending on her frustration
- Are marriage plans on the horizon any time soon?!
o Public answer: demure smile and comment about how busy they both are, how they want to use this time to continue building their music both together and independently. Real answer: lol
