I didn’t ever sing loudly, or with much confidence, but because I was just joking around, I adopted a kind of British whine, and wailed like a kid might. The words were simple.

She held an invisible mic and thrashed her long blond hair.Christina collapsed back to the floor, out of breath. “It’s hard work being a rock star!” “Sara and Tegan write songs, too,” Christina said, when Daniel leaned the guitar against the amp. Then, realizing she’d revealed a secret, she mouthed “Sorry” in our direction.“Let’s hear one,” Daniel said.Tegan and I locked eyes. My heart was racing.
