“You’re going home with her.”

Sly said the words like they were foreign to him.

Glancing at him over my shoulder, I said, “Do I need to say it in another language? My Cajun is pretty shitty these days. I know you don’t speak it either, but I can try, if you think it’ll help.”

“How about you try repeating it to yourself, in English, and hear how stupid it sounds?” Sly suggested. “You don’t even know this woman. And now you’re going to go meet Mommy and Daddy?”

Put that way…I shrugged and resumed packing. “I’ve already contacted Wes Grogan. He’s been begging to fill in for me on my show nights. Leonard’s handling the notifications for those who’ve bought tickets.”

“People are coming to see you, not Grogan,” Sly bit off.

“You know those disclaimers LeVan insisted the lawyers add to the ticket sales websites? Shows subject to last-minute headliner adjustments and cancellations. Ticket holders are guaranteed a refund. Remember those? It’s a good thing he fucking did that.”

Unconcerned, I grabbed a few shirts. We were leaving in the morning. I had the flight plan cleared and ready. All I needed to do was finish packing, then handle this part—telling the guys. Well, telling Sly. LeVan took it like a champ. No skin off his back—as always.

Sly was taking it like an asshole—as always.

Neither of their reactions could ever surprise me anymore.

Normally, when Sly got stuck in a rut with one of these moods, I ignored him until he mellowed out. But I was part of the reason he was in this mood—and another part of the reason was the baby. Well, I wasn’t going to let him take it out on her or her mama. So, after putting a few more things in the suitcase, I turned around and met Sly’s gaze. He needed to hear me break it down for him.

“Dude. Come on now. I’m not kidding anymore. You need to understand something before you end up taking this too far for us to ever fix it. I don’t know how Angel and I can make things work, but we’ll have to do it—as in just Angel and me. You’re my friend and my business partner. That’s all, dude. Not chief life decision maker, or consultant to my drama, or a prying, nosy as fuck son of a bitch. This is life, dude. Things change. Thing have to change at some point for the three of us. LeVan’s been dropping hints for months now that he needs more time off than what he gets. He’s getting hitched. That’s a given. And when he said he wanted to take three weeks for his honeymoon, you started up with the same shit, acting like he was walking out on us. You need to chill. Or get a stable woman. Or just…chill.”

Sly’s mouth clamped into a flat, straight line, red flags standing out against the pale skin of his high cheekbones. “I just asked—”

“You didn’t ask shit,” I said. “You ordered. Stuck that fucking nose where it didn’t belong.
