“You mean you have a secret from the rest of the awesome foursome?”
“Yeah. It’s kind of private. So…you’re on your honor, Mads.”
“Thanks for trusting me with this secret.”
“Well,youfigured it out.”
“I did, but you have nothing to fear from me. I’ll take it to my grave.”
I smile. “Thanks.”
Maddie finishes with her carry-on. “Do you want to take a walk? I feel great.”
“Yeah. Should we ask any of the others if they want to go?”
“Maybe Donny and Callie. The band members probably have something going on.”
Then I jerk at a knock on the door.
“Speak of the devil,” I say when I open it. Donny and Callie stand there, along with Brock.
“We’ve got the afternoon free, ladies,” Brock says. “Rory and the others are having a meeting to make sure Jesse doesn’t fall asleep.”
“I wish he had—”
Brock puts a hand up. “We all do, Bree. But you know Jesse Pike.”
Callie and Maddie both nod.
“We do for sure,” Callie says. “I’ve had to deal with this rivalry since Donny and I got together.”
“It’s over, Cal,” Donny says.
“I think it is…on your side.” Callie frowns. “I’m not so sure about my brother’s.”
“True,” Maddie says. “If he had any brains at all, he would’ve taken that first-class seat.”
“Actually,” Callie says, “Rory told me he tried to get a seat, but Cage and Jake took the last two.”
“Oh my God,” Maddie says. “That plus losing his luggage? He must be so upset.”
“Our brother’s a trouper,” Callie says. “He’ll be fine. So let’s go. We can take a walk, check out what’s around here. Maybe do a little shopping or something. We’ll save the big sightseeing spree for tomorrow.”
“Sounds great. You ready, Maddie?” I ask.
Maddie grabs her purse. “Absolutely. Let’s go.”
Chapter Twenty-Two
Jesse
I’m the leader of the band, and I can’t keep my fucking eyes open.
“Jess”—Rory nudges me—“you didn’t answer the question.”
I force my eyelids to stay up. “What was it again?”
“What time rehearsal will be tomorrow. We’ve got a location that’s reserved all day. Personally, I think morning would be good. It’ll force us out of our jet lag.”
