It breaks whatever trance we are under and she pulls her hand away, searching my eyes. I grin and lean back with a small nod.

That’s right, angel. You are no longer the enemy.

“Oh shit, just when we were starting to like her, we need to get rid of her,” Everett says, laughing.

“Hey,” she says, looking toward him.

“Shut up, Everett,” Remi says, sitting on the couch. “She loved how you portrayed the band and focused on the tour. She especially liked how you made Kegan out to be a good guy.” I snap my head to him, and he holds his hands up. “Her words bro, not mine.”

“You serious about her?” Lorelei asks.

“Of course,” he replies.

“Huh,” she says, turning away and giving me a grin.

What the hell?

“What’s that mean?” Remi asks.

She shrugs before turning to face him. “Oh nothing. I just didn’t see the look, that’s all.”

Lane, Everett, and I force back our laughs as we look at her.

“What look?” he asks.

“The look every guy or girl for that matter, has when they are in love. You can see it shining in their eyes. I just didn’t see that, so I’m a little surprised that’s all,” she says.

He doesn’t say anything, and we continue talking. Remi however sits there in deep thought the entire time.

Holy shit, she’s good.

“Alright, I have a question,” Lorelei says, smiling. “What song is your favorite?” She makes a point to look at each of us, letting us know it’s meant for us all.

I know without even looking at them what it is, it’s our song, Loyalty. It was one of our first songs, a fan favorite, and it means the most to us. It’s about our bond, but referenced for a couple. The struggles, the downfalls, and the loyalty it takes to make it all work. It was the first song I wrote.

“Kegan,” Lane says.

I glance toward him and he nods his chin, telling me to go for it. I grin and adjust my position, so my back is leaning against the window and I rest my one arm on the back of the bench seat at the table. I begin singing and when I get to the chorus, they all chime in. We’re all singing loudly, laughing as Everett gets up to sing into his beer. I chance a peek over a Lorelei and she’s smiling so big I can see it shining in her eyes, while swaying to the song.

We finish singing and all start laughing. Lorelei looks around at each of us, her eyes shining with excitement.

“Holy shit, I’m blown away. I can’t even describe it, I’m speechless,” she says, laughing.

“Well, at least we know how to shut you up now,” Everett says.

She covers her face and shakes her head, but when she drops her hands, she locks her eyes with mine. “Seriously, your voice is amazing.”

“Thanks,” I say, gri

nning at the compliment.

She stands up and stretches, revealing a bit of her stomach. Damn, it shouldn’t get my attention like it does.

“I had fun tonight, a lot of fun. Thank you, guys, but I need to get some sleep before tomorrow.”

She talks a bit longer about how she’s honored to get a private concert, and that she’s excited to see it all tomorrow. When she finally makes her way to the bunk room, I turn to the guys.

“Well?” I ask.
