I was crunching into an apple for breakfast—one I’d bought for Mozart—when the call came through the next morning. I knew I should stop eating all my pet’s fruit. Everything I’d read said squirrels needed a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables, along with plants and nuts. But nuts seemed to be his favorite, so I overindulged him in that area. Besides, some of the fruit was beginning to go bad, so...I figured I might as well eat it before it was too late.

I’d never really been a fruit eater before. It was kind of growing on me, though. I might actually get into some healthy foods.

“Hello?” I answered the unknown number around a mouthful.

On the couch, Remy stirred and sat up, his fake hair sticking up everywhere as he peered at me from over the back of my couch with bloodshot eyes.

I waved at him, only to pop to my feet and turn my back to him after the man on the other end of the line introduced himself. Excitement lit through me.

“Are you serious?” I blurted out without meaning to.

The man chuckled before letting me know just how serious he was. After that, we hashed out a few details before I hung up and swung around to share the news with Sticks.

“What?” he asked immediately, hopping up from the couch with a look of eagerness. “We got another gig, didn’t we?”

I nodded. “Here in town at the Grenada. Next Saturday. Holy shit.” That was the first place I’d tried to get Non-Castrato a gig over a year ago when we’d just started. Now, the guy was calling me and begging for us. Oh, this was sweet justice.

“Hot damn,” Sticks cried, doing a little dance that made me laugh.

“And so it begins,” I said dramatically, wondering how many spots we’d score after this. Things were definitely looking good for the band.

I offered him a fist bump and he blew it up before sighing as if refreshed. “This is so cool. It’s like...a dream come true for me. I still can’t believe you guys let me in the group sometimes. It’s all just...surreal. And amazing.”

I waved his praise away. “Honestly, you’ve got pure talent. I’m sure you could’ve gotten into whatever band you wanted.”

He snorted. “Think again. This has been a yearning of mine for years. I’ve tried for more places than you can imagine.”

I frowned. “Then why haven’t you…?” My eyebrows rose. “Are you saying you’ve been turned away because you’re gay?” What idiots all the other bands had been.

An uneasy look crossed his face. Then he bowed his head and scratched the back of his neck before saying, “More or less, yes…it’s because I prefer guys.” He looked up, and deep appreciation filled his gaze. “Really, Asher, you have no idea what a gift you’ve given me, not only for the chance to be in Non-Castrato, but…just by accepting me.”

“Hey,” I said softly, wanting to clasp his shoulder or, I don’t know, somehow convince him he was very important to me.
