Book description:

Just for the record, the heat can get to even the most calculated of minds.

Let it be stated that Rhys loves Ryan forever and ever. But certain needs are not being met, leaving her frustrated and asking for too much than the conservative and almost rock star, Ryan, is willing to give. Uncooperative (or cooperative, depending on your point of view) weather provides her an opportunity to ask not what she can do for her friends, but what a friend can do for her.

Isaiah likes to say that the best thing about Rhys is that he can stand in her breathing space and feel nothing. Something of a breather when dancing with Lia short circuits his entire operating system. But all his beliefs are challenged when Rhys chances upon him in a steamy practice room in the middle of a heat wave.

I loved this.

I know what it sounds like — every update is me saying "I loved this" in different ways. That is true, but also, I should say that I took the raw recording of the Just for the Record episode and listened to it a lot. Usually at night, before going to bed, armed with earplugs and everything.

The scene is bittersweet, even out of context. What gets me is Rachel playing this whimsical and sweet, and Gio's narration is exactly why I'm listening to this like it's a lullaby. When they recorded this, and they said their final lines, it began to sink in just how sad the scene was, and how sad they made it seem. It was awesome, but then I said it probably shouldn't be performed live. It's the kind of thing you want to hear alone, with comfort food, or a blanket.
