I decide not to tell her. Not tonight. Not while Matt's there. I'll tell her tomorrow.

"I was just calling to say I really wish you could be here. The band sounds great."

"Can we talk about this later? I'm kind of busy here. Matt's waiting in my room."

"You really want to do this again? After the others times were...not so great?"

"I have to give him another chance. He brought me roses and cleaned up the entire kitchen, which was a complete mess. And it's not like I'm not attracted to him." She lowers her voice. "He just needs to work on his technique. I gotta go. Bye."

She hangs up. I give her credit for trying, but she's going to be disappointed again. His technique doesn't matter if there's no chemistry between them.

She met Dylan one time and yet I can feel the chemistry between them. I feel it when she talks about him. I felt it just now when he sang that song. The way his voice sounded, so full of emotion. And the way he kept his eyes closed, like he was singing it just to her.

I think Dylan's in love with Amber. And I think she's in love with him. After one night! Is that even possible? No. That's crazy. But I have strong feelings for Austin after knowing him for a week, so maybe it is possible.
