CHAPTER 11

After several false starts and somehow managing to run out of time for breakfast, Angelique and Noah made it back to the tour bus before nine. She’d considered heading over there separately to make things less obvious, but it was pretty pointless. Everyone had seen them go for a walk together and then stay out all night. She drew the line at holding hands though. There was no reason to actively draw attention to themselves.

John, all three members of the band and all of the roadies lined up on the tarmac to welcome them back and they got a standing ovation. Even the driver clapped from his seat behind the wheel.

“I won’t ask where you’ve been,” said John as he ushered them inside.

She didn’t say a word. Neither did Noah. A flush of warmth crept up her throat, but in the main she was too happy to feel embarrassed. They were both adults. They could do as they pleased.

Angelique went straight to her bunk and got out her new Ian Rankin. Climbing onto the bed with it was tempting, but in the end she settled for taking it to the table. It was insanely difficult to concentrate on reading, but it was easier than having to look anybody in the eye. Noah plonked himself down next to her. She didn’t look up, but he squeezed her thigh under the table and she squeezed him back.

Surprisingly, no one said much about the new couple after that. The tour got into full swing and Angelique got to see Noah in proper rock star mode. Watching him up there on a huge stage with all the lighting effects, and hearing the crowd scream for him – it was pretty damn surreal.

The man whose name they were shouting – who women were lining up to see at the stage door – that was the man who’d told her she was beautiful and made love to her in a way she’d never experienced. She watched him play every night for a week straight and she still wasn’t able to reconcile those two versions of him.

They didn’t get another chance to sneak away together – John had set the tour up so it started off gently, but after the first couple of days the pace really picked up. Things got so hectic, she couldn’t help worrying what Noah might be tempted to do in his down-time. She spent as much time with him as possible, and everyone on the tour knew what his situation was, but little seeds of concern quickly grew into some sizable fears.

What worried her most was that he’d taken to lying closed up in his bunk for great chunks of the day. It was a classic sign of depression. And the last thing she wanted was for him to start self-medicating.

One morning when Noah was still asleep, she asked John outside to talk things over.

“I know what you’re going to say,” he told her as soon as they stepped off the bus.
