CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

DECEMBER SETTLED IN as Paddy spent more time getting this album on track with his brothers. He spent long hours daily writing, rewriting, working on arrangements and production.

And when he wasn’t doing that, he was with Natalie. She had a busy life, too. She had her job and her friends, and she did volunteer work, a lot of it with his mom and Mary.

As the time to get into the studio approached, label people liked to sniff around to see what was going on. Because it was their studio and not time the label leased out, the Hurleys had more control, but they had advances to deal with and other basic industry bullshit.

Currently, Jeremy, their manager, was in town and staying with Paddy. He’d been with them since pretty much the beginning, and Paddy considered him a friend as well as a business associate.

It was late after a long night working, and they all sat outside the barn around the fire pit drinking beer and blowing off steam. “So when do I get to meet this woman you’re seeing? You talk about her so much, I feel like I know her.”

“She’s got some sort of board meeting or other tonight, and then she’s hanging with her girlfriend who’s visiting from out of town.” He’d gotten used to her awfully fast. It was sort of freaky. But the way she just accepted his life with all its noise and chaos comforted him. Filled him up and made him feel whole. “She’ll be here tomorrow night for dinner, though.”

Vaughan cracked open another beer. “We still going out afterward? We haven’t gone to Portland since the spring. You have a girlfriend and Damien is breeding. We have lots to celebrate. Plus, we need to show Jeremy a good time before he heads up to Bainbridge Island to hang out with Adrian.” Adrian being Adrian Brown, major huge rock star and also a client of Jeremy’s.

Damien had met Mary at Adrian’s wedding, and Sweet Hollow Ranch had done some tour dates a few years back with Adrian. Adrian’s wife was one of Mary’s best friends. Around the holidays, it was the craziest mix of musicians, ranchers, security people and cooks. And this year, there’d be a librarian to add.

He smiled, thinking of her.

Vaughan snapped his fingers in Paddy’s face. “Stop thinking of nailing her for three minutes, please.”

Paddy gave his baby brother the finger. It would be good to get out with his brothers. They hadn’t done it in months and months. “What about you, D?”

Damien nodded. “Mary insisted. And by that I mean, she said, ‘get out and do something so I can work on this cookbook in peace.’”

“She’s not going to care if you go out with your brothers, Paddy.” Ezra nodded his way. “Natalie trusts you. You just have to trust yourself.”

“She the jealous type?” Jeremy asked.

“Ha. No. She’s just wary about the wild and crazy aspects of this world we live in. It’s cool. Yeah, I’m in. We’ll have an early dinner and then go out.
