Feeling a bit like she was in high school again with nobody to sit with at lunch, Meg was relieved when Micah called a lunch meeting instead of letting the band do whatever they wanted.

The band, Collins, Micah, and a few new faces all sat around a large table with deli sandwiches piled in the middle. Only Collins sat next to her. Zoey sat across from her, but Domino made a point to sit at the far end of the table away from her.

Good, with food involved, Domino should be worried.

“We need to finalize our itinerary for the next few days, go over talking points for today, the plan for the next few days, and of course, get our shit together for the filming,” Micah said, started things off with a bang.

Meg sat with her head leaning on her closed fist, fiddling with her turkey sandwich and finding that the best use of her time was to pick each sprout off her plate and onto a napkin one at a time.

“Right, so the cars will leave at four o’clock today to get us all to the radio station for the interview. Again, we’re really hyping the radio station and the private show tomorrow night, with everything leading up to the big Red Rocks show on Saturday,” Micah said.

Meg glanced up from her sprouts situation.

She understood that there were important things to talk about, but it was just so hard for her to concentrate on anything at the moment. Her head was filled with memories of last night, causing the butterflies in her stomach to flutter wildly, but they stilled almost immediately when she thought about the way Dom was so sure that Meg wasn’t good enough to cause someone like Collins to catch feelings.

“Earth to Meg!” Micah said.

Meg blinked, as though coming out of a daze.

“Were you listening at all? Collins just asked you if you’re happy with the new drum solo or if you want to work on it more today?” Micah was red in the face, clearly aggravated with her.

She wanted to feel guilty, but it was hard to take Micah’s anger seriously when her red face just made the lopsided lips more distinct.

“Oh, yeah. Uh, sure, I could work on it more,” Meg stammered. She caught Collins’ eye and then immediately added, “I don’t need help or anything, I’m sure I could get it on my own.”

“I can make time to work on it with you after the radio interview today,” Collins said, her voice completely professional.

“I mean, if it’s okay…” Meg felt off her game.

“It’s fine,” Collins said with finality.

Micah moved on to the next topic.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Meg looked down at her plate. She saw Collins had been taking the sprouts that Meg was getting rid of by moving them onto her own sandwich. The realization made her feel even more embarrassed, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint why.

Micah introduced a man sitting at the table as Dennis Poole, the Director of Photography for the special.
