When she ends the last note of the song, she takes a slow breath. She should be panting, should be absolutely overwhelmed, but instead she feels alive again. How could she have forgotten what it's like to sing, to put her all into every song without distraction or worry of judgement? Rene motions for her to join the men. David sighs. "Celine, you are truly amazing. I'm onboard." Celine beams and her heart lifts a fraction. He chuckles. "I'd be crazy not to work with you when you are this talented, this practiced. We can start in about six months." "Wonderful!" Celine beams. "Get a head start on the English album right away so we can push forward as soon as possible." David says to Rene. Rene nods. "Of course!" "Thank you both for taking the time to meet earlier with me. I appreciate the flexibility and I hope you enjoy California!" David dismisses. "It's sunny and warm. Enjoying it will be easy." Celine assures. When she and Rene leave the office, she embraces the warmth of the sun. Of course now they have two days with nothing to do. Not to mention the rift between them. "Celine ..." Rene starts. She looks at him for a long moment.
