He wrinkles his nose, giving me an unamused smirk. “It still stings, Jade.”
“Oh, poor Maddox.” Lily mockingly ruffles his hair.
He gives me a side-eye. “This doesn’t instill confidence in me. You two together? You might not like to admit it, but you guys were troublemakers back in school.”
“I resent that.” Lily jabs his shoulder. “We were not troublemakers; we just knew the right buttons to push.”
“Yeah, yeah.” He gives me a quick hug, then heads through the lobby of our building. “Let me know how the recording goes, Jade. I’ll lay down some tracks whenever you want.”
“Love you, Maddy.”
“Love you, too, sis.”
Lily giggles, grabbing my arm. “I can’t believe you’re here. I’ve missed you!”
“Aw, I missed you, too.”
“Did you want to head up? I can help you unpack.”
I shake my head and start heading toward the front doors of the building. “There’s not that many boxes. Come on, I want to go out.”
She grabs my arm just before I reach the automatic doors. “Are you crazy, girl? We can’t go out.”
“Don’t worry, I have a disguise.” I’m wearing a small, white hoodie, and start to zip it up. Pulling the hood over my head, I tug the drawstrings, tightening it a little.
“Yeah, I don’t know if that’s going to work, Jade.”
“Wait, I haven’t finished.” Reaching into the sweater pocket, I pull out a pair of sunglasses. The frames are black and brown, and wide enough to cover not only my eyes but my eyebrows as well. “See? Huh?” I bump her elbow with mine.
She lets out a giggle, then shakes her head. “Fine, let’s go, secret agent. But if those shades fall off and we get bombarded with your fans, I’m running. I don’t care if I leave you behind or not.”
“So much for sisterly bond,” I joke.
“You’re the Queen of Kings. I’m a college freshman. I think you can handle it.”
We both giggle as we head through the doors.
