Ciara's POV
The day of the meeting came sooner than any of us had hoped. The news of Kevin quitting the football team had already reached me. I meant to ask him about it, but couldn't get around to doing it. The only way I could guarantee he would give me the right answer was if the two of us were alone and that time seemed to be occupied by yet more lengthy rehearsals. By the time the rehearsals were done, Kevin would be fast asleep in his bed.
I chose to let it be until either during or after the meeting which was finally upon us. I sat in my room with my eyes closed while the maids did my makeup. "You're going to look really gorgeous, Miss Ciara."
"You really think so?" I asked, making them giggle.
"You already look stunning without the makeup. I'm practically jealous of how you look with makeup," she replied.
