Partners, proofs, and the music that keeps rooms behaving.
Zoey, 14, takes the lead. New hair, new confidence, same loyal heart—she steps into Westwood with the Peterman legacy on her shoulders and Theo at her side, determined to be a spin-off, not a reboot.
Theo, 16, writes his own thesis: he’s not “Egg 2.0.” Drums, playlists, a driver’s-test rite of passage—and the steady, everyday promise he and Zoey call “partners.”
Junior year opens at 7:38 a.m.—a ritual, a rhythm. A new theatre teacher reframes the room, band nights return, and Theo tracks his nerves like a metronome finally finding the pocket.
On the edge of senior year, Theo chooses the next version of himself—back to Shari’s chair, back to buzz-by-choice—and forward with Zoey, hand offered, answer always: “always.”
College move-in, opposite doors, same floor: Zoey and Theo start CSU with RA Ben, door-decor kits, and a songcraft ethic—Ask / Want / Why—turning daily life into proof you can hold.
Engaged, in a studio they’ve named home key, they build an album of their years—green/yellow/red, consent captions, glitter-is-a-noun—counting down to 7:38 and the life they’re already living.
