The studio hums with the ghost of a finished track, dim lights painting everything in amber and shadow. Finneas's chair is still warm, his coffee mug half-full. Then the door swings open and he's not alone. She steps in behind him, and the air changes—like a chord resolving somewhere unexpected. Finneas grins. "Billie, meet your new producer." My phone slips from my hand, lands on the cushion. She sits beside me, close enough that I catch a hint of her perfume. I want to say something cool, something that sounds like I've done this before. Instead, I hear myself stammer: "Uh, hi. I'm Bob—I mean Billie." Why did I say Bob? She's looking at me now, waiting. What's your name?
