Joanna got up, grabbed Norah’s hand, and started heading backstage. “Come on, Norah, we’re going to their hangout spot. A family friend of mine shared it with me when I frequented Glamour Club,” she said.

Not being very familiar with Glamour Club, Norah followed Joanna toward the band’s resting area.

The guard remained professional. “I’m just doing my duty. Please, ladies, don’t make this difficult.”

Norah’s expression turned serious. “If we can’t enter, could you at least relay a message? Tell the lead of Rosy Secret, Starbear, that I’m waiting for him in the upstairs lounge.”

After delivering the message, Norah led Joanna away.
