“I’ve won the award twice. I’m sure I can do it again this time around,” Jonas said, keeping his tone upbeat and positive. “I think.”


Carson beamed at Jonas. “You’re right. Let’s wait for the announcement. Just a few more categories, and it will be your turn soon enough.”


“In the meantime, you need to relax.”
