Chapter Fourteen

Luke

The next few weeks passed by in a blur. Luke spent most of it with Carter and Puck, and more and more he was starting to see Carter’s condo as his second home. Somehow, he’d accumulated a pile of his clothing in Carter’s closet, and his toothbrush now joined Carter’s in the bathroom.

They still hadn’t talked about…whatever it was that they had, but Luke wasn’t worried. What they had was good—better than anything he could have imagined.

They’d spent every moment they had not involved with work or school together, and Luke was happy. The only exception was Christmas.

He went home for Christmas for a couple of days, and Luke was glad he’d cut his trip short. He was originally planning on spending two weeks at his parents’ house in Hamilton, but had decided against it at the last minute.

It was a tense affair. His parents—his father, especially—still hadn’t dropped the idea of him going to law school, and with law school application deadlines looming, the pressure to have the perfect application for Dalhousie was mounting.

Luke hated it.

“We just don’t want you to waste your potential, Luke,” his dad had said over Christmas dinner, and Luke wasn’t able to fight back.

He never did, not when his parents were concerned. He wished he had the courage to tell his parents no, to tell them he didn’t actually want to go to law school, but he didn’t.

Luke took a deep breath. It was a nice day out, if a bit chilly. It was warmer than normal for a January day, and he was just at the tail end of his walk with Puck.

His phone rang. The caller ID was marked ‘Private.’ Luke answered his phone, curious. “Hello, this is Luke.”

“Luke, hey. This is Mike from Future, I’m not sure you remember me. It’s been a while,” the person on the other line said.

Feeling his heart race, Luke said, “Absolutely, I remember you, of course. How can I help?”

There were clinking plates in the background. “I don’t know if you are still interested in that gig you auditioned for, but if you are, it’s yours. Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. You know how crazy holidays can get.”

Excitement bubbled up in Luke. Holy shit. He actually got the gig. “Yeah, definitely, I’m still interested,” he said, unable to keep the gleam off his face. “Thank you for considering me. This is fantastic news.”

“Perfect,” Mike said. “Why don’t you text me your email, and I’ll send you the standard info sheet we have for performers. Everything will be in there, including info about setting up and your pay.”

Pay? Luke didn’t know he would be getting paid for this. This gig was sounding better and better by the minute. He was willing to play just for the exposure. “Will do,” he said. “Thanks again, Mike, you won’t regret this.”

Mike chuckled on the other line. “I know, kiddo. You’ll be great.” He dropped the line, and Luke fired off his email quickly on a text.
