“Well… If you look into coming to Europe on the tour with me, I’ll try to make it up to you there. I’ll always ask you what you want to do.”

Maddie shakes her head. “Bree, that’s not what I want. It’s not all about me. I just don’t want to feel like the fifth wheel anymore.”

“In Europe with me, you won’t be the fifth wheel. You’ll be the sister of the two lead singers in the band.I’llbe the odd man out.”

She cocks her head.

For God’s sake…That’swhat’s getting to her?

The Pikes are good people, and Madeline is a nice girl. I honestly always thought we were friends, and I never knew she felt so left out with Angie, Sage, Gina, and me. I vow right now to make it up to her, whether she goes to Europe or not.

“Iwouldlike to see Europe, and I know my parents would be much more comfortable if Rory and Jesse were there.”

“See? It’s a great idea all the way around.”

“All right. I’ll look into it. But I’m not making any promises.”

“That’s all I ask.” I give her a quick hug. “I have to go. Would you like to go get a drink later at Murphy’s?”

“With everyone else?”

“No. I thought maybe you and I could get one together.”

She cracks a small smile. “Yeah, Bree. I’d like that.”

Chapter Ten

Jesse

“Great rehearsal, guys.”

Rory clears her throat at me.

“Oh,andRory.”

“Rory is one of the guys,” my cousin Cage says.

“She doesn’t look like a guy from where I’m standing,” Brock says, eyeing her.

Damn. The way the Steel men look at my sisters is enough to make insects crawl up my spine. First Donny with Callie and then Brock with Rory.

But Callie and Rory are both in love, and from what I can tell, Donny and Brock feel the same way about them.

My sisters could do worse, for sure.

Maddie comes traipsing into the garage. “You guys done?”

“Yeah, we are,” Rory says.

“Good. I have something to ask you.”

“What’s that, sis?” I ask.

“Brianna Steel was just here, and she thought it would be fun if the two of us came on tour with you guys.”

Rory and Brock exchange a glance.

Apparently they know something I don’t.
