Chapter 15: It’s a Sign

The conveyor belt burps suitcases out onto the carousel in front of us. Portland came up all too quickly, and I can’t believe we’re really already here.

I shift my weight, half-heartedly noting which crew members have already gotten their bags. We said our goodbyes to Reggie and the tour bus in New Mexico before flying here to Oregon for tomorrow’s homecoming show: the date that originally marked the end of the tour. Under my new schedule, we have a week off here before ten days in Europe. Then it’s home for the band and on to new jobs for me and the rest of the staff.

I flick back my hair, checking my phone again even though I can’t seem to focus on any of the waiting emails. Maybe I’ve got low blood sugar. I should grab a snack before the van driver starts making the rounds of drop-offs at houses and hotels.

I sneak a peek behind me. Danny sits on a bench with elbows leaned forward onto his knees, one of his legs jiggling as he stares at the battered duffel and guitar case at his feet. Maybe he’s nervous about playing such a big show in his hometown. There’s more pressure now that they’re riding the tidal wave of success from the rest of the tour.

I drag my eyes back to the baggage claim belt. Beside me, Jera rubs at the graying Sharpie lines on her arm. “Your contest idea is saving my life, but man...” She makes a face. “I feel like a half-erased sketchpad all the time.”

“Yeah, but it’s worth soaking in some ink to shut up the vultures on Twitter, hmm?” I nudge her with my elbow. My contest is only increasing the numbers of Dera shippers, but the press is all positive lately.

“For real.” Jera drops her hand, pushing up on her toes to scout the room. “I kind of thought Jacob would meet us in baggage claim.”

“He probably just picked up somebody hot by the rental cars and called it good,” I deadpan. She’s been practically vibrating the last few days, she’s so adorably excited to see her boyfriend and get started on the adoption paperwork for Maya.

Jera smacks me in the arm. “Bitch.”

I snicker as she bounces forward and hauls her bag off the belt, the guy next to her reaching forward in alarm when he sees the size of it. Her lean drummer’s muscles handle the weight easily, and she doesn’t even notice his aborted attempt to help as she totes her suitcase back to my side. Thank God for no lost luggage on this round.

“That’s it,” I call to the rest of our entourage. “The vans are downstairs!”

“This way.” Danny snaps to his feet, elbowing his way to the lead of our group. I lift a brow, trying to ignore my irrational twinge of hurt. Well, somebody’s suddenly excited to get home.

Since the argument about making our arrangement public, he hasn’t pushed the issue, and he didn’t stop coming to my hotel room on our nights off.
