Chapter Six

Bad memories swamped Macy as soon as the building came into view. She hadn’t remembered exactly what it looked like, but as soon as she’d seen it, she knew . That was where everything had almost come crashing down. And even though she hadn’t been here in two years, it felt like yesterday when she and Brian had pulled into this parking lot with the intention of surprising Ghost. Macy had gotten the surprise instead when she found him backstage with Raina.

Now she was here again, a similar crowd all around. But Candace was at her side, at least. Her anchor. In the Slaughter’s set was starting in twenty minutes or so, and Macy’s nerves were jumping as if she were the one going on stage.

“Why do you think he likes this?” Macy asked her friend as they lounged near the bar, watching the milling audience. Piercings, tattoos, and multicolored hair were all on display.

“What, performing live?” Candace asked. She looked adorable, her own pink-streaked blond locks in a sloppy updo. She wore ripped jeans and a tiny fitted T-shirt that showcased her own ink, having taken far more advantage of her tattoo artist husband than Macy had of hers. “Probably for the same reason you like to ride horses around barrels as fast as you can.”

Macy had to chuckle. Sometimes before a big race, she felt like she was going to throw up. When Ghost had left her to go backstage an hour or so ago, though, he hadn’t seemed affected at all. “I don’t know,” she told Candace. “I mean, I’m competitive. That’s a race , and I want to win.”

“Maybe it’s the same for him. He needs to feel he’s won over the crowd.”

Maybe. It was just one of the inherent differences between them that would never be bridged, she supposed. And that was fine; it was good for them to have interests outside of each other. Sometimes she feared they burned so bright and hot together they would eventually burn out. It was her worst nightmare. So, yeah, this was healthy. At least she tried to tell herself that, as she watched a guy walk by with tattoos all over his face.

“I’m really trying to assimilate,” she told Candace.

Her friend chuckled, then waved to Brian, who was headed their way after conversing with a few people across the room. Macy had learned the first time they’d come here that Brian somehow had as many friends here as at home, and that some of these people actually made the long drive to Dermamania just for him or Ghost to tattoo them. Amazing, really, that they were so well-known. It gave her sense of pride to know that she wore Ghost’s art on her own skin, but she hated that it was always covered by her shirt. Something so beautiful didn’t deserve to be covered all the time, and she wished she had more opportunities to show it off.

“You’re here,” Candace said. “So I know you’re trying to assimilate.
