Threats and Promises.

Thanks to Avery's clear statement at the press conference, the fans slowly regained their composure. The backlash against TS Entertainment faded, replaced by anticipation for Avery Band's final performance.

A few days later, Tessa and Landon made time to visit Walter at the Sinclair Residence.

After they left, Tessa closed her eyes for a brief rest. By the time she opened them again, the car had pulled up in front of Thorne Corp.

"Why'd you bring me here?"

"I've got something I need to take care of," Landon said, glancing at her. "Can you just stay with me a bit? Taking you back first would waste too much time."

"Alright."

"How's the concert coming along?"

"Everything's ready. We're just waiting on final rehearsals." Tessa smiled faintly. Avery Band would always hold a special place in her heart. It was a piece of her youth.

"Do you know how much it hurts to see you so exhausted? And I can't do anything to help. It's a terrible feeling."

She really was brilliant-gifted at everything she touched.

But that brilliance came with a cost.
