“How is everyone feeling this fine morning?” Emilie shouted, which was especially mean. Six groans emanated throughout the kitchen as the group sat nursing coffees and hangovers. Why the hell wasn’t Emilie hanging out of her arse like the rest of them? Anna also sat smugly, watching the girls suffer.

“Why aren’t you dying with us?” Charlie moaned.

“Because I switched to water, like a responsible person,” Emilie laughed. “I’ll get breakfast on. You lot drink coffee. We have a big night tonight.”

“Don’t you worry, we’ll be right as rain in no time. Hélène, babe, whip up your magic hangover food. That will do the trick.”Kim said, patting Hélène on the bum. Hélène dragged herself off the kitchen stool and began raiding Emilie’s fridge. Charlie watched as Emilie stepped back, smiling. Yeah, Emilie was just as pleased as Charlie that her friends felt comfortable.

Half an hour later, the group had picked up a little. Hélène’s hangover sandwich really was magic. Already Charlie could feel herself perk up.

“What’s the skinny for tonight, then?” Sam asked.

“So the gig tonight is in the next town over. It’s in a lovely little pub. It’s not a massive venue, but it’s a local hotspot, so I think we’ll have a blast. The people are so nice. I think it’s going to be a fantastic night all round.”

“Is Jess up there with you, Em?” Lydia asked. Charlie grimaced. Lydia’s sweet voice rubbed her the wrong way.

“Nope, it’s not a band thing, it’s just me with my guitar.”

“Oh, wow, it’s going to be so good,” Kim crooned.

“Let’s have a chill day. We can have a wander in the woods and then we’ll get ready for tonight. Sound good?”

“Don’t wander too far though because there are bears!” Charlie blurted. Emilie laughed and patted her shoulder.

“Yeah, like Charlie the worry wart said. There are bears in the area, but don’t panic.”

“Still a wimp then, Charlotte?” Lydia laughed. Charlie knew she was baiting.

“It’s Charlie, and when it comes to massive fucking bears, you bet your fat ass I’m scared. Right, I’m going to shower and chill.” Charlie hopped off the seat and left before Lydia could reply. It felt good to get the last word in for a change.

The day went just as planned. Everyone seemed to relax and enjoy the cabin. Charlie was even able to relax a little on their walk. Tonight though, chilled Charlie had to stay at the cabin and professional Charlie would take over. Even though Emilie had been strict about no social media and videos, Charlie was still going to document the evening with her camera.

Emilie had told the group that the dress code was casual and everyone looked comfortable as they entered the little bar. Charlie felt immediately welcomed. There wasn’t a sudden rush of adoring fans. The locals embraced Emilie like she was a long-lost daughter. They all knew her by her first name, and Emilie seemed relaxed around them. The pub had done a great job of keeping the gig a secret because everyone was surprised to see her.
