WE GET TO BECK’S place just as an enormous storm cloud breaks open and dumps rain so fast and hard that the driveway looks like a small river. We pull in at the front of the house behind a BMW. Beck slides out of the driver’s side and runs around with an umbrella to open the passenger door. CeCe gets out and ducks under it, laughing as they run inside.

I watch them with a sense of loss that I know I have no right to feel. But it’s there anyway, like a kick to the gut.

“You sure you’re gonna be able to do this?” Thomas asks.

“I’m good,” I say, the question prodding me to slide out of the truck. I grab my guitar case from its spot between us. Thomas walks around, and I follow him to the door. He rings the bell.

The door swings open, and Beck says, “Y’all get in out of the rain.”

“Hey, man,” Thomas says, walking inside.

I walk in behind him and stick a hand out to Beck. “Hey. Good to see you again.”

“You too,” Beck says with what looks like a genuine smile. “Glad it worked out that you can hook up with us on the tour. Dad was psyched about it.”

“Thanks,” I say. “I really appreciate the chance to be here.” I want to be suspicious of his friendliness. I mean, why would he want me back here? If I were him, I wouldn’t let me within fifty miles of CeCe. But then, maybe he’s that confident of what they have going.

We follow him through the long hallway that I remember as leading to his dad’s studio. CeCe is already there, warming up when we walk in. I haven’t heard her sing since leaving here – correction – haven’t let myself hear her sing since leaving here. Her voice has taken on new dimension and power. She sounds amazing.

She smiles at Beck and Thomas but stops short of meeting eyes with me. “Y’all ready to do this thing?”

“Let’s jump on it,” Thomas says. “Should we go through a playlist first?”

“Sure,” Beck says.

“CeCe and I can highlight the songs we’ve been doing. Holden, you got any good new stuff?”

“I’ve got new stuff. Not sure if it’s any good or not.”

“Check the modesty,” Thomas says. “Ladies and gents, you’re looking at Hart Holcomb’s prediction for one of this town’s up and coming hit songwriters.”

Both Beck and CeCe glance at me with a look of surprise. It’s CeCe who speaks first.

“So it went well?”

“Yeah,” I say. “He’s an incredible singer.”

“Congratulations,” Beck says. “That’s big stuff. Sounds like you’ve impressed him. I’ve heard my dad say that’s not an easy thing to do.”

“I think I got a lucky break,” I say. “Right song. Right place.”

We all pull up a chair at the round table in one corner of the room. From there, we start talking about songs, compiling a list of the best we have and then working out the playlist.

Beck knows all of the songs CeCe and Thomas have been singing from having been at so many of their shows.
