His smile deepened as he recited, "I as Polaris, you as the moon. Glowing together through night's tender swoon. "When moonlight fades, my star stays true. Keeping its light to welcome you, till the fifteenth shines us both anew." Harvey's pitch-black eyes darkened—something violent and primal fracturing behind his composed mask.

The photographer gave us a cue, smiling behind the camera. "Ready? Three, two, one!" "Cheese!" The camera clicked, and the image froze in time—just Valerie and I, smiling at each other, full of happiness. Life had struck me hard, but I chose to sing through the pain.

“You dragged me out.” “Good. That was the plan.” The cab slowed at a junction, music from a nearby shop spilling into the street. Tamara started tapping her fingers on her knee. “We’re going to Vibe & Voice Lounge. Karaoke, shots, bad singing, good vibes.” “Bad singing?” I asked. “Yes. Yours.” I gasped. “Excuse me?” She grinned. “You sing like a wounded goat.” “Get out,” I said, laughing. By the time we got there, the place was already alive.

I sigh when the song title she decided flashes on the screen, “Through the Fire” by Chaka Khan. The lyrics of the song expressed our desire to do everything in the name of love.

She gives him a half smile, “It’s more complicated than just a song. I don’t need to rehearse for it, it’s like my mother’s song. The one at the well. A melody with no words, hers was full of joy, peace and love. Mine is full of pain, sadness and grief. My sisters and I have a name for it, ‘The Well Song’. It’s not something I’m looking forward to.” Kai seems to understand and rests a hand on her shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. She sighs and closes her eyes, keeping the tears at bay. Not yet.
