Chapter Twelve

Emma smoothed her hands over the purple lace sheath dress she’d borrowed from Gran. Never had a piece of clothing fit her so well. It covered things she didn’t like about her body and accentuated the things she did. How many dresses were able to do that?

She put on the silver heart necklace and matching earrings Gran had also loaned her, and though they weren’t the usual gothic jewelry she adorned herself with when she performed, something about the simple design was antique—as if owned by a centuries-old vampire.

Perfect. The band had agreed to ratchet down on the dark, edgy image they’d built for Hendrake, but they could certainly hint at it. The last thing they wanted was to get saddled with a squeaky-clean image that branded them as a children’s band. She chuckled thinking of the lads playing birthday parties in the midst of hired clowns and costumed cartoon characters.

No. Tonight was a good deed. Pure and simple. And good deeds brought good karma. And good karma made dreams come true. She and the guys had composed some new material she was rather excited about. It had potential. She was sure of it. This trip to Vermont had been the right decision.

For many reasons. One of which was in the next room, showering and changing into a suit.

Shiver. She couldn’t wait to see Kole. They’d talked for a few minutes when he’d come back to the inn. He’d debriefed her on his day, which included visiting Canville Children’s Home and finding out they had some steps to complete before being allowed to adopt Kylie. Steps Kole had gotten a jump on by getting a job with his cousins.

A real job. Not like the ones she currently held. A gig-to-gig musician. A here-and-there Irish step instructor. A hard-to-find-interested-students fiddle teacher. None of these screamed responsible adult. None of them were steady money. None of them could support a family.

“What’s with the scowl, dear?”

Emma whirled around from the mirror to find Gran standing in her doorway. She hadn’t heard the door open, her thoughts consuming her.

“Just thinking maybe the time has come for me to grow up.” She had no guarantees the new material the band had written would make them a big hit. Sighing, she slipped her feet into black heels and gave herself one more look in the mirror.

“You look like a grown-up to me.” Gran came to stand behind her and rested a hand on her shoulder. “You look fabulous.”

Emma put her hand on top of Gran’s and shifted to the side a little so Gran’s image was visible in the mirror too. “I’m not the only one. Look at you.”

Gran wore a black dress with a sparkly border on the scoop neck and the cuffs of the three-quarter length sleeves. The bodice was fitted, but the skirt flared out. A pair of black, glittery flats adorned Gran’s feet and diamond earrings twinkled on her ears. Her silver hair had been straightened and gathered neatly into a low, sophisticated bun at the nape of her neck.
