The last day in Ketchikan I was alone with Mom, Cassie, and Charlie for most of the day—on Myles’s insistence; he got Ram, Lucas, Brock, Ink, and Zane to take him into the deep brush for some boy time in the woods with things that went boom. Most of the day was easygoing—spent getting mani-pedis, lunch, browsing the touristy shops, and light chitchat. It was later in the day, back at Mom’s condo with big glasses of wine, that the conversation took an expected turn.

“So, Lex.” Mom was sitting on her white leather love seat, knees curled under her thighs.

I sighed, took a fortifying sip. “Here we go,” I muttered. “So, Mom.”

“You and Myles are leaving tomorrow?”

I nodded. “He has a show in Tokyo next week. Not sure which day, but being the first show of this leg of the tour, the band needs a few days to practice.”

“And you’re going with them?”

I nodded. “Yeah. I’m actually pretty excited about it. I’ll get to see places all around the world. I think it will be fun.”

Mom seemed to be carefully considering her words. “But you and Myles aren’t…” She hesitated. “A thing.”

I paused for a moment and looked at her directly. “I mean, sort of. I don’t know what we are––there are no labels for it.”

“You lived with him in Dallas for two months, after several weeks on the road with him. You brought him here, to meet us. And now you’re going on a world tour with him.”

I shifted uncomfortably. “Yeah. So?”

“That’s a thing, sweetheart.”

“I know it’s a thing. It’s just it’s kinda new and I’m not sure what the next weeks will bring.”

“Seems like you really care about him, and it’s totally obvious he cares about you.”

I took another long sip of wine. “What’s your point, Mom?”

Charlie held me with a level gaze. “Her point is either shit or get off the pot.”

“Screw you, Charlie. Just because it was easy for you doesn’t mean it is for me.”

“It wasn’t easy, Lex, it still isn’t. Worth it, but not easy. I’m not saying any relationship is easy, I’m saying you’re playing a game and it’s not fair to him or to yourself.”

I eyed Cassie. “And what’s your take on it all?”

She shrugged. “Myles is great. He likes you. Give him half a chance and I’d say he’ll fall in love with you faster than you can blink. And damn, but you could do a hell of a lot worse than Myles North, and not just because he’s rich and famous. He’s just a good, solid person. But none of us know what’s behind your real, deep down hang-ups, and what it’s doing to you. You’ve alluded to things in your past, but none of us know a damn thing them and, honestly, that makes us feel shitty––I know it does Mom––but we can’t make you talk about something you’re not ready to talk about. So you’re just sort of stuck, because you’ll never get anywhere in life or relationships until you woman up and deal with your shit.
