I glanced at Mom.

Stella, Ledward, and the fancy woman stood watching.

Dad put his arm around my shoulder. “We’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I want to hear all about what you’ve been doing, everything, you hear?”

“Sure.”

“Good, good.”

Mom reached out to shake hands with the fancy woman. “Welcome to the islands. I’m Angela. And you must be Marissa.”

The woman laughed. “Oh, heavens, no, I’m Rachel, Johnny’s manager. Wherever he goes, I go. His life is getting more hectic these days, what with ‘Rocket Ride’ climbing the charts.”

“Well, it’s nice to meet you, Rachel.”

Mom turned to Dad. “Good to see you, Johnny. You’re looking well.”

“You are too, Angie. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

“Yes, it has.”

They gave each other a quick hug; then Mom turned to Ledward. “Rachel, Johnny, this is my good friend, Ledward Young. He was nice enough to drive us over here this morning.”

Ledward gave a slight bow to Rachel, then reached out to shake hands with Dad, who was shorter. “Very happy to meet you, Johnny. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“I hope it’s all good.”

“It is, for sure. By the way, congratulations on ‘Rocket Ride.’ It’s a great song and I hope it goes all the way to the top.”

“Well, that makes two of us.”

There was a moment of silence.

Then Dad said, “Oh, Rachel, do you have those tickets?”

“Right here.”

Rachel pulled an envelope out of her huge purse and handed it to Mom. “Ten front-row seats just for you!”

“Let me see!” Darci jumped up to grab at them, but Mom hid them away in her purse. “Later, sweetie, okay?”

“Okay, fine, but can we go swimming now?”

“Soon.”
