In 2001, you opened for NSYNC on their "Pop Odyssey" Tour. It was difficult to accept that the boys required an opening act. Everyone was thrilled to see them because their entire album was fantastic on its own.

You and JC developed a different kind of friendship during your tour—flirtatious, intense chemistry—but you both agreed that having fun in secret never hurts anyone, because neither of you wanted to pursue anything because of the tour.

At this point, you were relaxing on JC's couch in his dressing room, strumming your acoustic guitar softly. JC, dressed in one of his concert costumes, appears sweaty and breathless as the door to his dressing room opens.
