Chapter 29

I should have gone to bed at some point during the night but I’m wired to be alert when the moon is out, so I worked to perfect the drawings I’d done at the studio. I spent hours working on my sketches of Trey and his band mates, adding crazy backgrounds to each of them, giving them a surreal effect worthy of an album jacket.

Then I did an entirely new sketch of the group. I drew a close up of a guitar, or at least the main body of one. Then I added drops of rain falling onto it. Within each drop of rain and the splashes of water that ricocheted off the guitar were images of the different guys. Their faces were stretched and distorted within the drops of water but not beyond recognition. Six a.m. rolled around entirely too fast and I scrambled to get showered and dressed for the day. Then I put my sketches in the portfolio and loaded them in the car to drive to The Waking Moon. I paced around the front of the studio for a while, rearranging things to make sure that Wes would get the best first impression of my work possible. I set out an easel with the painting I’d done of Trey while he’d been playing his guitar in my loft the other night, hoping it would give Wes a good idea of how I could represent Trey and the other guys on canvas.

Trey showed up at half past seven with a box of assorted Italian pastries and four coffees. He must have read the anticipation on my face because he set everything down and wrapped his arms around me. “Don’t tell me you’ve been obsessing all night about this,” he said with a chuckle.

“Why would you think that?”

“I know you too well.” He kissed the top of my head and then released me. “And you worry too much.”

“There are a lot of starving artists in the world.” I took a coffee and sipped it. “There’s a reason I’m not one of them.”

“Because you’re amazing.” Trey said.

“And because I obsess,” I added with a wry smile. I opened my sketchpad and showed him the new drawing I’d done last night.

“This is me learning to shut up,” he said with a grin as he admired the drawing.

“I’ll believe that when I see it.”

I set the sketchpad aside and Trey offered me the box of pastries. We snacked for a few minutes and Trey debated about which painting hanging on display Wes would like most. I sensed Wes a moment before he came into view through the large front windows.

“They’re here,” Trey announced unnecessarily as Wes pulled the front door open and held it for a woman I assumed was Lisa, the girlfriend Trey had mentioned. “Hey, you found the place,” Trey said as he and Wes bumped fists.

“You gave me decent directions for once,” Wes said, removing his sunglasses.

Trey handled the introductions and I shook both of their hands.

“You
