CHAPTER ONE
“I can't believe I let Trace talk me into singing on his show on such short notice. Doesn't he know I have to perform at the Critics' Awards tomorrow in LA? And not just once but twice! I'm going to be exhausted. That's like an eight hour flight from Vancouver!” December whined as her stylist fussed over her rapidly wilting curls.
Terrence smiled sympathetically at her reflection in the mirror but kept quiet otherwise. He knew how she got when she was ranting. God help him if he tried to soothe her. It would only lead to her being snippy with him, and he really didn't need the hassle today.
December Brown was a contrary sort of person. A successful singer in her prime, she was charming, warm, and generous to a fault. She was also a tireless defender of the downtrodden. Acutely aware of social issues, she supported as many charities and foundations as humanly possible. According to the media, she was a regular bleeding heart. Yet in her personal life, the incredibly private twenty-eight year old was more of a couch potato, choosing to spend evenings on the internet for hours at a time rather than go to the countless parties and non-fundraising events she was invited to. She was one of life's 'refusers'. She wasn't a quitter, since she usually couldn't even be bothered to try. If it seemed like a competition in any shape or form, she would opt out long before she knew the odds. There was only one reason she was in the limelight now, and it wasn't a secret ambitious drive. It was because her PR agent, who was also her best friend since adolescence, insisted on it.
