As she approached, she noticed Richie's agent pacing anxiously in front of the door, worry written all over his
face.
“What's wrong?” Elyse called out, her curiosity piqued. “Is Richie being difficult again?”
The agent rushed over to her, anxiety etched across his features. “The singer set to duet with Richie missed her
flight! She won't land for another hour, and their performance is in ten minutes! What are we going to do?”
“What were they supposed to perform?”
“They were supposed to sing together—a duet!”
Elyse tapped her chin thoughtfully. “But isn’t Richie tone-deaf? How was he supposed to pull that off?”
The agent declared with unwavering confidence, “The pay is generous enough. Even if Richie is tone-deaf, he

Elyse was stunned into silence, unsure how to respond.
Perhaps because his agent had been gone a while, Richie emerged from the lounge, his expression puzzled. “Is
the other singer here yet? I'm about to go on stage.”
The agent shook his head, looking apologetic. “It seems you'll have to perform alone.”
Richie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How can that be? | can’t sing! Do you wantto lose all my fans?”

The agent's face twisted with frustration. If he had known the other performer would fail to show up, he never
would have booked this gig for Richie.
After giving it sthought, Elyse suggested, “How about | go onstage with you?”
Richie eyed Elyse with skepticism. “You can sing?”
“No,” Elyse admitted with a chuckle, “but | can play the violin to help you find the rhythm. Usually, people
struggle with singing because they lack a sense of melody and don’t know how to stay on beat. They sing too
freely and go off-key.”
Richie looked between Elyse and his agent, his uncertainty evident. “Well... It's worth a shot!”
Together, the two headed into the lounge to start practicing.
Twas of the essence, and they managed only a few hurried rehearsals before the staff ushered them to the
backstage area.
Standing backstage, Richie took a deep breath, his nerves clearly frazzled. “God! I'm never singing again after
this. Music is definitely not my forte.”

Elyse gently placed a hand on his shoulder, her voice soothing. “Don’t worry. I'll guide you through it.”
Richie took a deep breath, his heart pounding as he stepped onto the stage with Elyse.
The moment Richie appeared onstage, the auditorium erupted in deafening screams from his adoring fans. Elyse
couldn’t hide her amazement, her eyes twinkling with admiration at the power Richie commanded. His fwas
undeniable, and the frenzy of the audience only confirmed it.
Filled with inspiration, she positioned her violin under her chin and started to play.
The opening notes of “Can't Stop the Feeling” filled the air, and although Richie lacked in his vocal abilities, he
had a natural talent for hyping up the crowd. Richie stole a quick glance at Elyse, who met his gaze with a warm,
encouraging smile.
Emboldened, he began to sing. As the performance progressed, he discovered that by mirroring Elyse’s rhythm
and melody, he stayed perfectly in tune. A surge of excitement coursed through him, and in a spontaneous burst
of enthusiasm, he leaped off the stage, diving into the sea of fans to interact with them up close.
