Taylor didn’t respond right away. He just studied her silently, lips pressed together.

After about ten seconds, he finally nodded.

“Alright. You can audition too. Jean still has to audition as well. Nothing’s final yet.”

Lacey’s eyes widened, her heart leaping in her chest.

But then–her gaze drifted to Jean, sitting at her desk, oblivious.

Taylor had given her a crucial piece of intel.

The casting wasn’t final.

She and Jean both had to audition.
