An electronic trill breaks through the dense fog of memory, and I reach for the device in my back pocket.

“Steady, please tell me you have good news.”

“Ty, it’s good to hear your voice. How are things up north?”

“Peachy. Mari pretty much called me a man-whore, and I’m ninety-three percent certain I’m losing my mind.”

“Okay, who is she?”.

“What the hell is it with you and Kess? Who said anything about a she?” His assumption annoys me.

“Oh, there’s definitely a she.”

Amusement is clear in his tone. Steady is one of the greatest guys I've ever met. We owe him so much. But I swear to God, this conversation is pissing me off and right now I would happily kick him in the nuts.

“Tell me what the label said. Kess warned me this call was coming, and I can already tell I’m not going to like the answer, so you might as well just say it.”

“Twelve days.” He drops his bomb and waits for my response.

“Twelve days?” The words are pitched low, even though inside I’m seething and want to scream. “My father dies, I check into The Overlook, and the fucking label has decided everything is going to be all better in twelve days?”

“I’m sorry, kid. I wish I could do more. The label wants what they want. At least the European leg is short, only twenty dates, so it’ll be quick and dirty. Four weeks tops. Once it’s over, you can take some real time to get your head right.” His tone echoes a fraction of the frustration that's making it hard for me to think. “I’m sure Mari will welcome you back. Or we can find a nice vacation house to rent on a deserted island somewhere. No label, no paps, just you and your demons.”

“Fine, whatever. It’s not like I have much of a choice, is it?” I scrub my hand over my face, pausing to rub my temple for a second. “Look, I have to go. I’ll talk to you later.”

Disconnecting the call without another word, I suck in an angry breath. It takes every ounce of willpower I have to not hurl my phone into the trees before stomping up the stairs and slamming the cabin door shut behind me.
