The process of deciding who would go to Nashville and who would stay behind made Aiden grateful he’d never had to endure long family drives when he was growing up. It seemed there was at least one advantage to coming from a broken home.

Danielle, Aiden, and Laurel had to go. Aurora, whose date with Wade had ended so late that everybody was already awake and packing the SUV when they drove in, had no interest in the trip at first. When she said as much, Bailey went to her side, a clear indication he wanted to stay at home. But then Aurora’s natural curiosity got the best of her and she started asking questions. The more she found out, the more interested she was. When someone finally said the word Nashville, she insisted on coming along. At that point, Bailey moved over to Laurel, no doubt hoping to win points for switching allegiances. Laurel saw right through him and informed Bailey that he was coming on the trip whether or not Aurora did. Finally, Wade said that Aiden and three women was a recipe for disaster and he needed to come along to help balance things out. Finally, after agreeing that everyone was coming, waiting for Aurora to pack, Wade to go grab his things, and dropping by the hotel to pick up Danielle, they were on their way.

And only two hours behind schedule.

They’d barely left Nocturne Falls when the questions started.

“How long is the drive?” Aurora asked from the middle of the backseat.

Aiden glanced at her in the rearview mirror. “Between four and five hours.”

His mother sat next to him in the front. “Do you want to tell me about your plan now?”

“Wait,” Wade said from the other side of Aurora. “Before you get to the plan, can you fill in some details? Like what we need a plan for?”

Aiden shook his head. “Weren’t you listening to anything back at the cabin?”

“Not really. I was too busy consuming as much coffee as possible.” Wade grunted. “Out of curiosity, are we going to pass someplace with a bathroom anytime soon?”

Laurel leaned forward, looking at Wade across Aurora. “Why didn’t you go before we left the house?”

“I have no idea.” He let his head fall back against the seat. A moment later, he was snoring.

“I’ll bet his eyes are totally bloodshot behind those shades,” Aiden said. “I wonder what color bloodshot blue eyes are.”

Aurora smiled. “They’re like a stormy sky streaked with purple lightning.”

“You got him to take off his sunglasses?” Laurel sounded shocked.

“Sugar, that’s not all I got him to take off.”

Aiden lifted one hand from the steering wheel and held it up. “Stop! That’s more information than I want to know. And since I don’t want to keep repeating myself, let’s save the plan sharing and detail filling in for when we’re all awake.”

“Which will probably be when we get to Nashville,” Laurel said.

“Probably. For now, how about some peace and quiet?”

“Or how about some country music to get us in the mood?” Aurora waved her finger at the radio console.
