Justin borrowed money from Joe Campanella. I don ’ t want a guy like that pressuring one of my clients. ” He pulled out his checkbook. “ Let me loan you the money.  It ’ s not a big …”
    She put her hand over his. “ No. Absolutely not!  No way, Trevor. ” Her green eyes reflected her unbending will on the issue. “ I appreciate the offer, but it ’ s bad enough that Jeff ’ s involved. I don ’ t want anyone else on Campanella ’ s radar. He ’ s a bad guy, a really, really bad guy. I ’ ll get the money on my own somehow. ”
    “ You ’ re right. You will, actually. You ’ ll soon have more money than you ’ ll know what to do with.  I came over to tell you, Marcus called. They want you to come back to Vancouver and run through some songs with the rest of the group. Stephen says it ’ s just a formality. You ’ re in! ”  
    Stunned, Avery stared at him for a moment, letting the news sink in. “ I can ’ t believe it! ” She finally blinked. “ I didn ’ t want to get my hopes up. But Brutal Strength! Woo- hoo ! ” After the initial moment of elation, her smile faded. “ But what happens when they find out I ’ m not a guy, Trevor? ” So far, she had gone along with the plan, not really believing anything would come of it. Frankly, she ’ d not been thinking straight since Justin died. Between this charade and the Campanella thing, her world seemed to be collapsing in on her from all sides.
    “ Look Avery, ” Trevor replied, gazing at her steadily, “ bottom line, it was your music they liked.  Marcus and Stephen believe you have what it takes. ” He pushed his glasses back up.  “ Seriously, whether you ’ re a man or woman is irrelevant. Jobs should be merit based. ”
    “ Uh, yeah in a perfect world, right? ”
    “ Lookit , Marcus is a Neanderthal. That ’ s why I don ’ t feel too bad about deceiving him. We stick with the plan to tell him the truth on a need to know basis, after you pay Campanella back. It ’ s really a win-win situation for Brutal Strength, anyway. ” She rolled her eyes at him. “ All true, kid.  You ’ re a helluva guitarist.  And when everyone finds out you had to pretend to be a man to get in the band, the publicity will be huge, bigger than when Lady Gaga dressed up like a guy for the Grammys. The public loves controversial stuff. They ’ ll eat it up. ”
    Avery knew Trevor was right. Anyway, she was out of options at this point. Joe Campanella was not the Bank of America. He didn ’ t just threaten, he acted. She ’ d experienced that firsthand. Getting the extension had bought her a little time, but where else could she come up with that amount of money? Like it or not, she had to let this play out. 
    Avery nodded reluctantly to Trevor. Being a guy for one afternoon hadn ’ t been all that difficult. Extending it out a little longer shouldn ’ t be too hard. She knew how men acted, having been around them all her life. They were definitely lower maintenance than girls. “ What ’ s next? ” she asked. “ I know you, Trevor. You always have a plan. ”  
    Trevor smiled fondly. He reached out and fingered a long strand of her hair. “ This will have to go. You can ’ t wear your hair up in a hat all the time, you know. ”
    Avery breathed a sigh of resignation. ‘ Hair grows back, ’ she reminded herself.
    He took a step back, fingers under his chin, looking Avery over head to toe. “ It ’ s going to take a major transformation. But if you are going to be a guy, Avery, we ’ ll make you THE best looking one we can. And I know just who to call. ” Trevor pulled out his cell phone, scrolling through his contact list. “ Here. Ricardo Benito. The best celebrity stylist in the business. ” He tapped in the number.
    A woman ’ s voice answered, “ Studio LA, can I help you? ”
    “ Yes, I need to speak with Benito. ”
    “ I ’ m sorry, sir. He ’ s with a client. ”
    “ Tell him it ’ s Trevor. It ’ s an
