“I wish I could play like him,” Liam’s brother, Gabe, says.

He’s standing next to me as we watch Saving Tate perform their final concert in Seattle. Liam’s parents are proud of their son, but they aren’t at the concert as it’s not their kind of thing. I’m still unsure of the family’s feelings toward me.

“What do you as a job?” I question.

“Nothing interesting. I’m a contractor,” Gabe replies, and I bite my lip, not knowing what he means.

At the risk of sounding stupid in front of my new brother-in-law, I dare to ask. “What is a contractor?”

“Wow, Liam wasn’t wrong when he said you had a lot to learn. I’m sorry you were brought up that way. It must be hard.” Gabe gives me his pity. “A contractor is like a builder. I work on constructing houses, mainly under government contracts. It’s nowhere near as glamorous as my brother’s job, but I enjoy it and get a big sense of achievement when I see the completed buildings. Liam actually got me to work on his place—have you seen it?”

I shake my head. “We’ve been staying on the bus or in hotels while in Seattle. So I’ve not seen where he lives yet. Hopefully, when the tour finishes, I will.”

“Hmm.” Gabe trails off and goes back to watching the band as they play the songs I’ve come to love and know pretty much all the words to.

The band’s music is inspiring, and the lyrics give advice and hope to anyone who listens to them. I can see why they are so famous and well respected.

“Bloody arrogant assholes,” I hear Zoey grumble from behind me.

“Is everything okay?” I question, stepping back from direct view of the stage, ready to help her if needed.

“Just a couple of radio executives. They’re complaining that they aren’t getting exclusive access to Saving Tate after the concert. The band isn’t giving exclusive access to anyone tonight. That was yesterday, and I made sure it was well known. They’re threatening to boycott the band’s songs if they don’t get what they want.”

“Tell them to go fuck themselves,” Gabe interrupts.

“I wish I could. The band has invited some of the kids in tonight from the Foundation we run. They’ve all had serious issues at home. The band was going to put a lot of time in with them, but I’m going to have to cut that short so the band can give exclusive time to the stuck up assholes. Tate is going to be livid. I need to find a room to put them in because they’ll have to wait for the band to see the kids first. I’m not giving them priority.” I can see Zoey is really pissed at the executives and with good reason.

“Wait.” I take her hand. “Don’t make them wait. Get the band to go to them first. I know how sweaty and disgusting they all are when they first come off stage. Give the executives the real rock stars. Let them see the band’s reaction to being prevented from greeting their true guests first.
