fuckers.”
    Cruz shakes his head. “Dade, stop man. We love you. No one is attacking you, so calm down. We head to New York in a week and all we’re saying is you can’t be glowering at the world when we do. You look miserable. You act miserable. We just want you to get your head right, so yeah, we’re in your business. You need to talk to her. Even if it’s just to tell her to fuck off, you both need to say shit to each other. It’s festering and it’s affecting everyone.”
    I glower at him, but I understand he’s right. Snapping at these guys is not the answer. They’re not who I’m pissed at.
    “I’m sorry. I know. I just don’t know if I can talk to her and not explode.”
    Liam nods. “I saw you in the hall with her, man. You kissed her like she was a juicy steak and you were on death row eating your last meal. She meant something to you. I live with you. I know what’s up.”
    Rolling my eyes at him, I can’t help but chuckle. “Yeah. She meant something. She was a great lay.”
    Jude glares. “If she was just a good lay, then you wouldn’t be Doctor Downer right now. And that comment is so completely out of character for you that you just proved my point!”
    I mutter, “Why do you have to bring a doctor into it?!”
    Jessie laughs and points at me. “Me ‘thinketh another one is on the line.”
    Liam grins. “If so, that makes four!”
    I roll my eyes. “I’m not on any line.”
    Everyone looks at Cruz. He puts his hands up in defiance. “Nope. Not me. Sorry to disappoint, but that is not going to happen.”
    Everyone laughs. I see the kitchen door open and Jude’s wife, Lexi walks out with a tray. I can’t wait to see what she’s got for us today.
    She stops at the table and leans down to kiss Jude. Jessie grabs the tray as Jude pulls her into his lap. She laughs in delight.
    The bell chimes and Jessie and Liam look toward it and their faces light up. I turn, knowing who I’ll see. Bradi, Blue, and Clove walk in. Liam gets up and rounds the table so he can kiss Clove, my baby sister and his fiancée. She’s about six months pregnant now and she’s showing nicely. She looks gorgeous pregnant.
    Blue winks at Jessie and points to the counter. He laughs and calls out, “By all means, woman, get your coffee first. I see where your priorities lie.”
    She sticks her tongue out and blows him a kiss as Erik hands her a coffee. He gestures to the table at large that he’ll be over in a bit.
    Once everyone is situated, Lexi in Jude’s lap, Blue in Jessie’s, Clove next to Liam, Cruz, me, Bradi, and Erik, we get to the topic at hand.
    Bradi breaks out her laptop and starts clicking. Blue has a notebook out and her pen is at the ready. As she’s clicking on her computer, Bradi starts to talk. “Ok, so we leave Thursday. You have Thursday night free to explore or whatever. No late night though. Y’all are on Good Morning America with Robin Roberts interviewing you on Friday morning and then the concert in Central Park is Friday night. Devil’s Lair has a six song set and then you will do two together before your set begins. You have twelve songs give or take. The after party starts around 11PM. You have two interviews and an informal photo session for Rock With Me. I’ve also scheduled a stop at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital on Saturday. I have some t-shirts, hats, posters, and buttons being delivered for y’all to sign and give out. Your flight home is Saturday night at 9:31PM. It’s going to be jam packed, but the show is sold out and GMA tweeted about the interview and performance this morning.” She looks around the table. “Any questions?”
    Everyone is staring at her in admiration. She tucks an escaped tendril of hair behind her ear. “What?”
    Jude is the first to speak. “Everything sounds great, Bradi. You are killing this shit.”
    Her cheeks flush and she smirks. “Did you ever doubt my awesomeness?!”
    Everyone laughs. A chorus of “No’s” is heard around
