As I glanced around the room, my eyes inevitably found Dawson’s.
Tellinghim, however, was a whole other story.
One that I’d prefer to skip.
I told Brodie I would do it this week. That didn’t have to mean tonight.
Ace gave us the signal to get our asses back in gear, and we made our way to the stage. I picked up my 1984 Konicki electric and stood in my spot, ready to rock.
I could hear the MC on the other side of the curtain, making jokes and getting the audience ramped up again.
“You guys want to go out when we’re done here?” I asked.
Faise rolled his shoulders behind his drum kit. “I don’t know?—”
“Come on, we haven’t gone out for ages. Let’s hit a club and go dancing,” I urged.
Faise looked at Ronin, and Ronin turned to me. “Why the fuck not? We’ve been cooped up recording all month.”
“Yes!” I pumped my fist. “Dee?”
“Sure, as long as Van?—”
“Duh, you and Van are a package deal now. Tied at the hip. And ass. And dick,” I quipped.
Brodie gave me the finger. “Oh, it’s on, Holls. Let’s see if you can keep up with me.”
“Please, I’ve got more energy than the three of you combined.”
“Don’t forget your VIP guy,” Ronin added.
“He can tag along.”
“What’s his name again?” Brodie asked me with a smirk.
And fuck, I blanked. Again.
They all started laughing the longer I stood silent, and I gave them two very special fingers.
“Rememberhisname?” Brodie asked and pointed to the wings.
And stupid me, I turned around.
Like I could ever forget about Dawson.
CHAPTER 5
DAWSON
FEB 10, A PRIVATE AIRFIELD, NASHVILLE
Iain had been acting weird all week.
He never hooked up with that Frankie guy the night of the concert. Iain didn’t hook up with anyone, even when the band went out clubbing afterward.
In fact, he hadn’t snuck out or hooked up all week. And I had to wonder if he was feeling ill or something. Or maybe I was reading too much into his strange behavior.
With each passing day, however, he got more agitated, and so did I.
