Jean was still smiling. Not even trying to hide it. She leaned back like this whole thing was beneath her.

“But it was funny,” she said with an innocent shrug.

That song wasn’t even difficult, Jean thought. How is Lacey butchering it this bad? She’s literally turning it into a comedy act.

Lacey’s fingers curled into a tight grip, but her face didn’t flinch.
