The applause at the end of the performance was a slap in the face. A cold, dismissive slap. Amelia's chest was a drum, beating a frantic, uneven rhythm. The woman on stage, dressed in a shimmering gown, took a deep bow, a saccharine smile plastered across her face.

Amelia’s eyes narrowed. The arrangement, the vocal inflections, everything was *wrong.* This wasn’t *her* song anymore. It felt violated. She wanted to scream. She wanted to rush the stage and rip the microphone from the woman’s manicured hands. She wanted to shout how she had worked on it for months.

She turned and fled, not caring about the dropped purse, the spilled champagne. She was going to be sick.
