Dom inspected his drum kit as diligently as a man about to blow his entire savings on a used vehicle. If the kit had tires, I had no doubt he would have kicked them. Apparently satisfied, he gave a curt nod and lifted his grey eyes to mine. "You ready for this?"

"Born ready." Not the most original of answers, but it was true. Nervous energy, the good kind that kept you on your toes, thrummed through me. I was ready to kick this interview's ass.

Crew members swarmed around us, loud in their organized chaos. I'd learned over the years that these setups could get noisy, hectic, and generally seem like no one knew what either they or the person next to them were doing.

What was really happening, though, was sort of like what I imagined happened in a beehive. Everyone knew exactly which part was theirs to play, and it all came together seamlessly in the end.

We were at the studio where the interview was taking place, about to perform our sound check for the song we would be doing after it was over. A multicolored kilim carpet was rolled out across a part of the interviewer's studio and would be our stage for the day.

Dom's kit was set up at the back with Matt next to him. Caleb and Nick were set up to flank me, center stage and a few steps ahead of them.

Except I could touch her, and I honestly couldn't wait to be the one to watch her shed her business layers later, until she was writhing underneath me and begging for more. I smirked as she approached, giving her a long once-over Caleb definitely wouldn't have approved of.

Luckily, my dear worry wart of a brother was too immersed in his guitar to pay attention to any inappropriate places my eyes were lingering. Alicia's eyes darted from one of my bandmates to the next, silently checking up on each one. She came to a stop next to me and flashed me a tight smile.

"Everything okay here?"

"We're good. Ready to rock this joint. They’re not going to know what hit them." The song we'd chosen to play today was one of our new ones, and it was the first time we'd be putting it out there into the world.

One of the more recent ones I'd written, it was about losing your childhood home but was open to interpretation. No doubt a lot of people would speculate that it was about losing your first love. That was
