🎶Song of The Chapter (JJ): "Glimpse of Us" by Joji🎶

She'd take the world off my shoulders

If it was ever hard to move

She'd turn the rain to a rainbow

When I was living in the blue

Why then, if she's so perfect

Do I still wish that it was you?

...

When you're out of sight

In my mind

...

'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes

And that's where I find a glimpse of us

And I try to fall for her touch

But I'm thinking of the way it was

Said I'm fine and said I moved on

I'm only here passing time in her arms

Hoping I'll find

A glimpse of us

...

Tell me he savors your glory

Does he laugh the way I did?

Is this a part of your story?

One that I had never lived

Maybe one day you'll feel lonely

And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse

Maybe you'll start slipping slowly

And find me again

Lyrics taken from: "Glimpse of Us" by Joji

🎶Song of The Chapter (Kiara): "I Love You" by Sarah McLachlan🎶

...

Oh but everytime I'm close to you

There's too much I can't say

And you just walk away

...

And I forgot

To tell you, I love you

And the night's too long

And cold here, without you

I grieve in my condition

For I cannot find the words to say

I need you so bad

I need you so bad

Lyrics taken from: "I Love You" by Sarah McLachlan

"I should've came with you Kie."

Kiara's eyes shut and she shakes her head, his words sending chills throughout her entire body.

"Don't...JJ...please." she replies softly.

"I need you to hear it Kie!" he says

She shakes her head again.

"JJ, I can't talk about this with you right now!" she tells him, as she stands up and begins to walk up the dock.

"Kie!" JJ calls out to her.

There it is again...Kie...this time coming from the one who may as well have the nickname trademarked as his. she thinks to herself. She stops walking, and thinks about turning around to just go have it out with him.

She spots Casey waving to her, and she smiles.

Not yet. she tells herself, so she continues walking up the dock towards the chateau.
