Collin Dawson hadn't wanted to come here. His father was giving him a hard time about everything again.
He didn't understand how his only son cared more about music than he did about business. He still did his duty in the office to the letter but no more than that.
Hanging out with socialites was not Collin's idea of a good time. He only went to events when forced because they were necessary for networking. The rest of the time, he preferred to stay home and work on his latest composition.
Piano was an acceptable high society hobby, which was why he had been allowed to take lessons until he surpassed his teachers. But that was all Royce thought it should be. A hobby.
If Collin had things his way, he would focus on composing full time. He knew it wasn't lucrative but it was what he loved.
