The announcer flushed and pulled on his tie.
I held back an eye roll.
“Brodie,” Jean-Luc cleared his throat, “the last time you were interviewed, you had just eloped with your manager, Ivan Cross, in Las Vegas. How’s married life?”
Brodie let out a dirty chuckle while the rest of the guys groaned.
“I think you can tell by the smile on my face that it’s amazing. I’ve never been happier.”
“So, is this the start of a trend? Are the rest of you guys looking for love?”
Iain, Faise, and Ronin all shook their heads vehemently, and I had to stifle a chuckle.
“I’m happy for Brodie and Van, but I’m enjoying the single life,” Ronin replied as he waved at the camera. “Et je suis tellement heureux d’etre ici, en Paris.”
“And Ronin speaks French, mesdames et messieurs,” the announcer gushed.
Faise rolled his eyes. “Barely. He was practicing with Van for days. You didn’t hear him butcher those words the first ten thousand times like I had to.”
Ronin playfully swatted his best friend on the arm.
“Faisel, your personal life has been under intense pressure lately. You were last seen in California, where your brother is in rehab. How’s he doing?”
Faise’s smile faded, and he turned to Ronin and then looked over at us in the wings.
All the guys visibly stiffened.
Judging by Faise’s reaction, I guessed the question was not vetted beforehand.
And I looked around and noticed Harlow was still missing.
“He’s still in treatment,” Faise finally replied. “And that’s all I’m going to say on the matter.”
Jean-Luc turned to Iain. “Iain?—”
“Holloway,” Iain returned.
Uh oh. I recognized the intense glint in Iain’s eyes. He did not like his friend in the hot seat. This interview was going to turn south real fast if Jean-Luc wasn’t careful.
“Je m’excuse, Holloway. What about your personal life? You’re known as the most mischievous playboy of the band. Are you happy with the single life or are you looking for love?”
How about asking them about their next album? Why all the personal questions?
I texted Harlow with a more direct message.
Get out here now. This interview is starting to nosedive.
“I’m pretty sure the term is fuckboy not playboy. And I’m happy and looking for a good time. Nothing serious, just fun.”
“Well, according to the tabloids, you have a lot of it.”
Iain cocked his head. “I do. I enjoy my life, and I don’t need to justify it to anyone.”
Jean-Luc nodded. “You guys have known each other since you were in high school, correct?”
“That’s where all four of us met,” Brodie answered. “But I’ve known Holls since we were six.”
“Holloway, your mom was a talented pianist who died tragically at a young age. Is she the reason you got into music?”
