apter 499 Farewell in the Spotlight

I'm sorry," Ms. Tessa said sincerely.

"Don't be. You've done nothing wrong. Honestly... getting to know you has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me."

And meeting the guys in the Avery band-those brothers who shared his passion- was the greatest stroke of luck in his life.

There weren't many people in the world like him.

He'd spent the past few years doing something he truly loved. And he'd done it well.

"Yeah."

"But let's not tell the others about any of this. I don't want them to worry." He knew his departure was inevitable. "Once I'm gone... maybe you could find a new lead singer."

A dull ache stirred in Ms. Tessa's chest.

Even now, he was thinking of everyone else.

That was just who he was-on the surface cool and aloof, but deeply caring about the people he held close.

"Do you really think that'll be a problem with me around?"

"Maybe... you could become the Avery band's new lead singer. That would be the best possible ending." Avery's voice was earnest.

Ms. Tessa had the heart and soul of rock and roll.

The fact that she was a woman didn't make a bit of difference.

"Avery, you know I'm not the kind of person who wants to go public." She really liked the life she had now. Yes, she loved music-but not in the way Avery/did. He lived it. Breathed it. Built his whole career around it.

"That's fine. There's no rush. I still have over twenty days left with you all-just think about it, okay?"

He didn't want to pressure her.

"Alright, enough talk. I'm heading to rehearsal. This concert really matters to me-

it'll be the first time all six of us perform together."

He'd looked forward to this for so long.

After Avery left, Ms. Tessa remained standing there, frozen.
