“You know as well as I do that it’s nearly impossible to disappear nowadays. All you can do is listen to the security team, and if you are confronted by the press, ignore them. Unless, of course, you finally have something you want to say.”
I caught the sharp tone of his voice and the real meaning of his words. But Brodie and I had an understanding, and we were sticking to our plan.
I could ignore Greg just as easily as he ignored my concerns about a possible leak.
“The band just finished a grueling year, and Brodie needs rest. Now his peace has been shattered,” I murmured.
“He’ll just have to lay low. The rumor about you and him being a couple has only intensified since the concert. Our social stats are through the roof, considering we’re post-tour. So it’s not surprising that the media is smelling blood.”
“And?”
“And PR is monitoring the situation. If this keeps circulating, they might take over your personal account.”
“I better go. Brodie and I have a song to finish.”
“Already?”
“Being here is very inspiring.”
“I’ll bet,” he replied. “I’ll check in with Regan to ensure she’s made Brodie’s additional protection a priority.”
“Fine.”
I hung up with no more answers than before I made the call.
I was tempted to chuck my phone into the waves, but that wasn’t smart. For me or the ocean.
“Everything okay?”
Brodie’s voice startled me.
I turned and nodded. “Everything’s fine. Well, not fine since we won’t be able to leave the property without being photographed, but other than that—”
“If Dawson is right and no one followed us here, how did they find us?” Brodie asked.
“Between you and me, I think there’s a leak.”
Brodie’s face fell.
“Someone at Bandit?”
I nodded. “I have my suspicions.”
“And?”
I slid my arm around Brodie’s waist and pulled him in tightly.
“Only a handful of people knew we were coming here. And the rumor about us isn’t dying down. It’s generating a huge amount of social engagement. I also checked our sales stats post- concert. Same thing. More photos of us together would only fuel the fire.”
Brodie shook his head, his messy waves hitting his cheekbones.
“I get that our music, our brand, is a commodity, but if what you’re suggesting is true, if someone internally leaked that info, I’m going to have a serious problem. If we can’t trust the people closest to us and we don’t receive some measure of privacy when we ask for it, I’m done. And I know the guys will support me on this.”
“I have no evidence at this point. It’s just a theory.”
“But one that makes sense given the circumstances.”
“We can’t level an accusation without proof. First, I’m going to have Dawson run the van’s plates. See if we can find out who’s parked outside. We’ll go from there.”
