Chapter 17

I SLEPT MOST OF THE way to Paris on the train. A late night of rehearsals and an early morning start weren’t my idea of fun. But soon we’d get to the hotel, and I’d see Crow again. This would be the start of our life as an official couple. Maybe we needed to buy matching rings or something to celebrate that. I liked that idea.

Polly nudged me awake when we hit the outskirts of the city.

“You’ll be nice when Crow talks to you, won’t you?” I asked her. “Don’t mess with him.”

She just smiled. It was pretty much a given that she’d approve of our relationship now, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t toy with him. Polly liked to do that sometimes, but I wasn’t sure if Crow would stand up to her teasing.

“It seems very formal,” she said. “Like he’s asking for your hand.”

“He wants things all above board and out in the open, that’s all.”

I stared out the window. So far, there was nothing especially Parisian about the city. I guessed cities were all the same on the outskirts.

“He doesn’t want to look like a creeper, especially considering how young Fay is,” Jax said.

He didn’t need to remind Polly of things like that. I was plenty old enough to date Crow. The way these guys acted, you’d think I was still underage.

I kicked Jax. He tried to dodge, but I got his ankle hard enough to make him grimace.

“More like, he doesn’t want to cause trouble on the tour,” I said. “You know what Damo’s like.”

Then, to emotionally kick Jax on top of the actual kick, I added, “Wow, everyone’s going to be paired on this tour. Damo and Polly, Elijah and Rose, Matt and Fiona, and... oh, wait, then there’s you, Jax. All alone.”

He looked like he wanted to kick me back. I tucked my feet under the seat just to be on the safe side.

“I’m fine,” he said. “I can take care of myself.”

I chuckled. “Yeah, you can.” And I did a jerking-off hand gesture. “That’s Jax ‘taking care of himself’. But there’s Fartstard. He’s single. Go for it, Jax. You’d make an awesome couple. Except for his conniving, double-crossing ways.”

Jax screwed up his face. I didn’t blame him. I still had to make that bastard pay for ratting me out to Polly. Even if everything worked out fine in the end, he’d betrayed my trust.

“Good thing he did,” Polly said.

I shrugged that off. I didn’t want to open that discussion again, not with things starting to work out.

I stared out the window as the train got closer.

“Paris. It’s the city of love,” I said.

“It’s the city of working our asses off onstage,” Polly said. “But it’ll be nice to get a chance to look around a bit.”

“And eat French food,” Jax added.

“The only French food Polly will eat is French fries, I bet,” I said with a grin.

“I have an Eiffel Tower view from my room,” Polly said. “I’ll be able to see it from my bed.
