Monday afternoon, Chloe is sitting on the floor of the choir room, tapping the eraser of a No. 2 pencil against a sheet music study guide. It feels ridiculous to be transcribing quarter notes into block letters when everyone in the room has been sight-reading since sophomore year. Everyone in Mr. Truman’s sixth hour, Girls Select Chorus, knows that the final exam is a technicality.
“Y’all know if they would let me count the spring festivals for the grade, I would,” Mr. Truman tells them.
She’s not thinking about sheet music though. She’s thinking about the note in Rory’s file, the postscript at the end. Take your heart back.
The reference is easy. Her brain filled in the rest of the lyric as soon as she got home: When you find that once again you long to take your heart back and be free…
“Think of Me” was her big solo in Phantom; she’ll probably have every line seared into her brain until she’s dead.
