Her husband winced. “Okay, sweetie. They got it.”
“Right.”
“So, we aren’t going to be doing that. At least not on that side of the pool table,” Izzy said out of the side of her mouth.
Logan’s lips twitched.
Tracy grabbed her sweatshirt off the felt and cleared her throat. “We’ll, uh, leave you guys to it.” She and her husband laughed and tripped over each other to get out the door. “I still say he looks like someone. I just can?
?t put my finger on it,” Tracy said in a voice that wasn’t even close to a whisper.
Logan pulled down his ball cap. They just couldn’t catch a break. Izzy crossed to the small desk and the twenty inch monitor. She booted up and loaded the video program.
Fiona squeezed in the small opening in the doors just as Christian’s face filled the screen.
“Logan, how’s things?”
He smiled back at the screen. “Good to see you, man. How’s the tour?”
“Awesome. Cole is doing just great. He’s really killing it every night. Packed houses.”
Logan swallowed down a lump and kept smiling. He remembered when Chris was just as pumped about one of their shows. Even if it felt a million years ago.
Izzy dropped onto his lap and wrapped her arm around his neck. “Hi, Christian. How are my boys treating you?”
Chris blushed. “You know how they are.”
“Are you talking shit about us?” Zeke, with his shaggy curls, sat off to the side. Cody popped his head up and barked. Chaos ensued as the couch on the bus was filled with the rest of the band. Cole even waved as he went to the front of the bus with a sandwich in hand.
“I didn’t know we were missing lunch!” Zeke yelled after Cole.
He simply held up a middle finger. “I don’t feed the animals.”
“Man, see how we’re treated? You guys need to come home. We miss you desperately.”
Logan wrapped his arm around Izzy’s hip. “You guys look good.” They did. All of them were at the beginning of a tour, so the fatigue hadn’t set in yet. There was still excitement as they hit a new city and a new crowd.
“How are the wilds of Mai—err, the white tundra treating you?” Zeke cleared his throat.
Fiona nosed under his arm until her head was resting on the desk. “All right. We already got snow. There’s actual mini icebergs in the river.” He rubbed behind the dog’s ear. “Oh, and all of us miss you if you couldn’t tell.”
Julian leaped across the lot of them, landing hard on their laps. There was name calling, rude gestures, and Julian landed on his ass in the aisle of the bus, but everyone was laughing, including him and Izzy.
Seeing them all together was a healthy dose of normalcy. Something they both needed to see.
Izzy couldn’t stop smiling into the screen as the guys teased her. It was good to see her smiling. Smiles were coming a little easier these days.
Zeke sat forward on the couch. “Marcus wants a check-in today if that’s cool.”
Logan’s smile slipped. “Everything all right?”
“Yeah. As far as I know anyway. He’s just getting antsy with Bishop. The guy—DeSalvo—he’s been hard to pin down.”
“Thanks for keeping in contact with him. The signal out here is crap.”
“All good, man.” Zeke’s smile softened. “You look good, Bellamina.”
She pressed her cheek to Logan’s. “We’re doing better.” She cleared her throat. Her voice a little thicker. “Have you heard anything about Adam?”
