Chapter Five.

Drezden

I knew I'd pushed the time I'd spent back home. Brenda had called my phone more than once during the trip, each voicemail getting progressively more manic. I'd returned her call once; when my flight was taking off. “I'll need a car when I land.”

She hadn't been impressed. “You're really trying my nerves. It's already three, what were you doing all day out in freaking Syracuse? God, I'm going to have grey hairs before you're through with me, I swear.”

Peering out at the slate colored sky as my plane landed, my spirits were soaring. I grimaced at the flare of hot pain along my lower back when I climbed from the seat. Worth it, I told myself, thinking about the look that would be on Lola's face.

Worth it.

The car was waiting for me, the driver one of many forgettable men in black hats that matched the paint job. I was a foot away when the rear window rolled down. The lines under Brenda's eyes were deep, dark things that spoke volumes about her hangover. “Get in,” she muttered.

Yanking the door open, I slid in next to her. “You didn't need to meet me.”

“Of course I did.” Her fingers were a blur, typing into her phone. “I've been up since eight, busy wrangling the set-up for the venue, all while wondering when you,” she spared me a glance, “my special star, would return to me.”

“I made it back.” My chuckle was cut short as I leaned myself too hard against the seat.

Brenda arched an eyebrow, shutting her phone. “You alright?”

“It's nothing.”

“Nothing,” she repeated doubtfully. “Fine. Have your secrets. I'm just glad you're back.”

Fingering the shape of my phone, I nodded. “Me too. Did... anyone wonder where I was?” Did Lola ask at all? She hadn't taken any of my calls.

“Honestly, I've been a little frazzled and busy all day.” Shaking her head, she smoothed her hair over and over. “I left voicemails for everyone today. No one has responded. My guess is everyone is still sleeping at the hotel.”

Still sleeping? I'd left so late last night. It had taken everything in me to resist knocking on Lola's room, imagining her tucked in and alone. Unless she stayed on the bus. The idea bothered me, her by herself. “Are you sure they're all there?”

“No, of course I'm not sure.” Waving her phone, she frowned at me. “Fretting about you has left me sort of distracted, get it?”

The curious question, the part of me that needed to know where Lola was, burned to crawl from my throat. “I want to go to the hotel.”

A slow, suspicious squint inched along Brenda's face. “Oh. I see now. You're not even worrying about the show, you're still thinking about her.” Collapsing deep in the seat, my manager groaned. “Priorities. But fine, relax already. We're on our way there.”

Peeking out the window at the buildings rolling by the deeper we got into the city, I tried to calm my beating heart. Soon, I'll see her. Then I can tell her—show her—everything she's wanted to know.
