"What do you mean you've lost?" Juho's brow furrowed.
Having watched both Kaija's performance and Liisi's before leaving, he was certain who was more deserving of the grand prize tonight. Now that Kaija had returned without the trophy in hand, he wasn't sure what to make of it.
When Juho told Kaija a week ago that he didn't like crowded places, he was actually telling the truth. However, a festival night like this came with larger orders and smoother distribution. He couldn't miss out on such an opportunity.
After the break, he'd been waiting for everyone to settle back inside the concert hall before sneaking out to deliver the remaining orders for the night. He'd planned to wait until at least one post-break performance finished before heading out, to ensure no stray guests were lingering outside and might catch sight of him in the act.
However, the last thing he expected was seeing Kaija walking onto the stage for that very performance.
