It wasn't frustration he felt. It was something heavier-helplessness, maybe. How was he supposed to help her fix this? "Barrie!" The thought struck Denver suddenly. Without hesitation, he turned and headed downstairs, pulling out his phone as he went.
"Marshall, hey. It's me. Are you with Barrie right now?" When Denver arrived, he found only Marshall and Barrie waiting. Marshall gestured for him to take a seat. "What's going on?" he asked. Barrie put his glass down and turned to Denver. “Marshall toldyou neededfor something. What's up? If there's anything I can do, just say the word." "I appreciate it, man." With tpressing and Hadley's disappointed face fresh in his mind, Denver wasted no time.
"I'll cut straight to it. Here's what's happening..." Barrie listened closely, his expression growing tense as he took it all in. “So that's how it went down?" He recalled how hard Eric had pushed to get Hadley out of Galant and into Blanche's troupe. But before she even had a real chance to prove herself, she was cast aside.

Barrie hesitated to reveal that Eric had already cashed in that favor. Even so, refusing outright wasn't easy. After a pause, he finally gave a nod. "Alright.

Denver felt the weight of the situation pressing on him, but he held on to whatever hope he could. "No matter what happens, I appreciate you trying." "Yeah, sure," Barrie said as he got to his feet. "I'll call her right now." "Really appreciate it." It wouldn't take long to make the call.
True enough, Barrie was back in no time, still holding his phone. “Alright, talked to my mom. Now we just have to wait and see what she says." "Got it."
Denver gave a slight nod, though a faint frown remained. Then, turning to Marshalb he said, "Well, I should get going..." "Whoa, hold on!"
Marshall stopped him before he could leave. "You're already ehere might as well stay for dinner."
