"Cause he's frozen,

Under an ocean of ice.

He lets me walk there,

Under his moon at night.

He's frozen,

He shields my eyes from the sun.

The great believer,

Doesn't believe anyone.

His ice age is melting away."

"And that's a wrap on Tom Quincy's Album 'Frozen Under'," Kwest announced to G Major. He glanced over at Tommy, ready to shake his hand. "I know you haven't been in the game as the artist in a while, but this is a happy moment."

Opening his eyes wide, Tommy shook Kwest's hand. "Sorry man, I just got a little distracted."

Nodding with a smirk, Kwest stated, "I know." He tapped his pen on the table top and rubbed the back of his neck with his other hand. "Man, I produced your entire album, and all you've ever been is distracted."

Running his hands through his hair, he cleared his throat. "I've had things on my mind."

"I know what you've got on your mind, man," Kwest stated with a grin and raised eyebrow.

Tommy spun his chair around to face Kwest. He stared him hard in the eye, but Kwest only gave him a mocking expression. Too tired to fight back, he asked, "All-knowing Kwest, what am I thinking about?"

Throwing his pen onto the table, Kwest leaned in closer to Tommy. "I wouldn't say 'what'. It's more like, 'who'."

He turned his chair back to its original position, avoiding Kwest's eyes. He cleared his throat and muttered, "I guess I should take 'all-knowing' back—."

"Give it up! You think about Ms. Harrison twenty-four hours-- no pun intended --a freaking day. And there's not a day that goes by without you thinking about her." Kwest stood to leave. He looked toward the door to see a crowd of people waiting to congratulate them on the album. He started towards them, but stopped for him. "Lucky for you, I bet she's thinking about Tom Quincy."

A smile broke on Tommy's face. He stood just as Kwest opened the door and let numerous people enter the studio room. He shared hugs with Georgia and a handshake with Darius. Tommy made small talk and said "thank you" to various "congratulations". None of it meant much when the one person he wanted to share the moment with wasn't there.

Out of the corner of his eye, Tommy caught a glance of long blonde curls. He brought his attention to a smiling Sadie leaning on the doorframe. She fiddled with the heart charm on her necklace, watching him. Tommy made his way through the people, over to her.

Sadie leapt into his arms and whispered in his ear, "Congratulations."

Hugging her tightly, Tommy replied, "Thanks," and placed her back on the ground. "you wanna go get some fresh air with me?"

Nodding, Sadie followed Tommy out the back door. As they walked, she threw in, "Last time I was here, all that excitement was for Jude. Now it's all for you."

Tommy smiled at Sadie as he opened the door for them to exit G Major. They made their way down a flight of stairs into a deserted alley. Tommy couldn't help but be reminded.

Tommy walked down the stairs towards Jude. It was pouring outside, and Jude was soaked in her delicate silk dress. Tommy unbuttoned his jacket and placed it on Jude's shoulders. "For what it's worth, Shay's a kid and an idiot."

"That doesn't mean much, coming from you," Jude stated, avoiding his eyes.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Tommy asked shocked and slightly offended.

Jude glanced over her shoulder at him. She could tell he really didn't understand, and he needed to. "I'm so tired of falling for guys that don't fall back. It hurts."

"Jude, I—"

"You all say the nicest things. I'm so great. I'm so nice. But you must be lying because none of you want to date me. So you want to help me? Tell me what I'm doing wrong. Tell me why I'm so easy to give up and maybe I can fix it."

"You are asking the wrong guy." Tommy took Jude into his arms and kissed her passionately. He hadn't kissed a girl like that in a long time, if ever. It was amazing and their connection was undeniable, but he also knew that it was wrong.

"So what are you going to do now?" Sadie asked.

Quickly looking over his shoulder at her, Tommy asked, "What do you mean?"

Sadie shrugged her shoulders and crossed her arms over her chest. "I don't know. After Jude finished her album, she went on tour. Do you think you will?"

Leaning his head back, Tommy looked up into the sky. The weather had been nice lately, but he could feel it getting colder. He breathed in the air, testing it out and thinking about Sadie's question. "Probably not. I'm still a producer, and I promised Jude I'd do her next album." Tommy led Sadie back up the stairs and into G Major. Slowing, they made their way through the back of the room into Studio A.

"Oh," Sadie replied slightly disappointed. She watched Tommy watching the celebrating crowd, distracted as usual. She quickly added, "You know, I'm proud of you, Tom." She announced with a twirl of her hair. You're making a comeback." Sadie pointed out.

Tommy smiled sweetly at her. He replied with a sigh, "Attempting to make a comeback. We don't know anything yet." He scratched his eyebrow with his index finger, nervous about his situation.

Stroking his arm, Sadie playfully stated, "Modest too."
