"It was on their fifth album."

"They didn't have a fifth album."

"Yes, they did! That one with the song with the thing. They couldn't get distribution, but that song got airplay."

Cassie could hear her friends arguing, but couldn't seem to open her mouth. She didn't remember the song. How could she have never heard the song? The fifth album had been half done when she left Seth. He had never mentioned it, not through the ridiculous divorce proceedings or the phone conversations since. But Marci was insistent it was an old song, not one that had just been written.

"She's right," Arliss spoke up. "I heard it once." She looked at Cassie. "I thought it was about you, but we weren't in touch or anything." She let the sentence end kind of awkwardly, and suddenly everyone was staring at Cassie.

Somehow, she pulled herself together. "Come on. The after-party's backstage. They'll be waiting for us."

They maneuvered through the staff and crew, flashing the badges Cassie had gotten them at the door to the hallway leading backstage, sharing grins and giggles as they were ushered through. They saw the guys right away, Julian and Seth hugging and yelling at Pete, and Troy on his way to the booze table. Cassie saw the look on Georgie's face and headed her off by steering her friends as a group to where Brad and Robert were talking. She made introductions and immediately crossed the room to Julian, hating her disappointment when she saw Seth had already moved away. Julian hailed her, so she talked to him for a minute, then checked in with the charity reps and got herself some food before joining Faith for a cigarette in the alley. Troy joined them, and she faded back as soon as she saw what was happening there.

Were all her friends going to hook up tonight?

For the first time, the thought didn't carry the doom and gloom she'd felt since Georgie had proposed this concert. So what if they did? They were adults now, and things were decidedly different than they'd been twenty years ago. The guys were different--well, all except for Julian--and the dangers didn't seem so powerful.

She'd just gone back inside when Robert hailed her. "Cassie, I believe Ms. Edgeworth would like to have a conversation with you."

She peered into the room her old friend and the guitar player had to themselves. "Where is everyone?" Arliss asked.

"In the after-party. What's up?"

"I just thought we should all, you know, spend some time together tonight. The Silverettes."

Cassie jumped on the suggestion. Anything to avoid the fawning crowds. "I could use a break. Let me get the others. At least, the ones I can find." She corralled Marci and Faith and dragged them back with her. Georgie had disappeared, and Cassie couldn't spot Julian either. Part of her wanted to go find them and stop whatever they were doing, but she blocked it out of her mind. Georgie was a big girl. If she made a mistake, she knew how to live with it.
