Kayla swiped her arm across her forehead in a feeble attempt to wipe away
the rivers of sweat pouring down her face. Her butt was asleep, her thigh
muscles were screaming, and her right hand had begun to cramp, but—
goddamnit—Katherine Yolanda Larrington was exactly where and who she
wanted to be. Zach would be proud, she hoped.
Perched behind a set of shiny black Neusonic drums, Kayla surveyed
her domain like a queen on a throne. She had a commanding view of her
surroundings. To her right, Toni Bennette wielded her guitar like a knife,
slicing and dicing through the melodic verses. To Kayla’s left, Tiffany Kim
punched through her bass riffs like a woman on a mission to reverse the
blood flow of every person in the audience.
Their slot in the Dragonfly Festival lineup was short, only twenty-five
minutes, but they’d resolved to make every single one of those minutes
count. To leave an indelible mark on the crowd.
Tiff swung her long twists over her shoulder and flashed Kayla an
open-mouthed smile, entirely in her element.
Kayla grinned back as she gripped her sticks a bit tighter and slammed
them down against the skins. Lifting her chin at Tiff, she snapped her wrist,

the sea of forty thousand souls scattered across the field. “Get those hands
up, Delaware!”
Lilly’s newly anointed acolytes obeyed, raising their hands in the air
and screaming at the top of their lungs. Earlier that morning, rain had
poured in slanted sheets over the crowd, turning the once-green field into a
veritable mud pit. They didn’t seem to care, lost as they were in the music.
It didn’t matter that the Lillys were so far down the list in the festival’s
lineup that you needed a magnifying glass to read their name on the posters.
People danced, sang along with the covers they knew, clapped for the songs
they didn’t know, and gave themselves over to them.
Lilly spun around to face her, signaling Kayla, Tiff, and Toni to play
the song’s outro.
Kayla settled into the groove, closing her eyes and listening to the
others. They gelled so well. Like they were always meant to be—these four
women playing this song in this place at this time.
As their penultimate song finished, Kayla let the roar of the crowd buzz
through her sweat-dampened skin. She had just enough time to grab a towel
and swipe it across her forehead before she had to jump right back into
