Mia returns for the second set without a single hair out of place. As soon as she enters a large presence is pulling her subconscious across the room. Ignoring it she walks behind the mic cueing the band.

We found each other
I helped you out of a broken place
You gave me comfort
But falling for you was my mistake

Her body is now tingling more intensely making it hard to ignore. Trying to push it back she immersed herself into the music.

I put you on top, I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me

The tingles were now beginning to burn. Having to suppress the urge to gasp her eyes scan the room. The far side in particular just out of sight is seeming to cause this.

So call out my name (call out my name)
Call out my name when I kiss you so gently
I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
Won't you to stay, even though you don't want me
Girl, why can't you wait (why can't you wait, baby)
Girl, why can't you wait till I fall out of love
Won't you call out my name (call out my name)
Girl, call out my name, and I'll be on my way and I'll be on my

A man with dark hair and brown eyes searches the faces nearby. Trying to be cordial is getting more frustrating as he searches for the person on the other end of the pull. Many of his spouses are spread through the crowd trying to find it as well.

I said I didn't feel nothing baby, but I lied
I almost cut a piece of my life for your life
Guess I was just another pit stop
'Til you make up your mind
You just wasted my time

Meeting in the middle of the room they all cluster together. Tony takes a deep breathe and that's when he hears her. Obviously he had heard her the whole time but now he's really listening, her voice makes his heart skip a beat. His face spreads into a wide grin.

You're on top, I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly, babe
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me

Mia's gaze locked onto a crowd of twelve people now near the front. They clearly weren't there before but now she can't look away. Her mesmerization seeps into her voice accidentally affecting her control. With a new goal in mind she takes the last two verses seriously.

So call out my name (call out my name, baby)
So call out my name when I kiss you
So gently, I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
I want you to stay even though you don't want me
Girl why can't you wait (Girl why can't you wait 'til I)
Girl, why can't you wait 'til I fall out of loving
Babe call out my name (say call out my name, baby)
Girl, call out my name, and I'll be on my way, girl I'll be on my way

The team couldn't help but feel mesmerized. They clutch each other with adoration and shock as they stare at their last soulmate. She's beautiful. She's everything they could want.

On my way, all the way
On my way, all the way, oh
On my way, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way, on my way
(On my)

When the music finishes the room fills with applause. Tony jumps onto the stage and approaches the girl. The room watches with baited breath as the billionaire envelops the girl in a hug. Inhaling her scent of cigarettes and vanilla he lets out a pleasurable sigh. They found her, they found their last piece.
