A deep chuckle came from Eli "You knoe love you, Abster You’ve been a sweet pain in the ass since the ht you horuer on you, I’e, and I’ll pound his ass, got it?" Gabe growled

I grinned as I shook e"

"I’oodbye for now"

A deep chorus of "Byes" echoed aroundit to h me when the enormity of what I had done finally crashed over er of Runaway Train to stay on their bus for an entire week What the hell had I been thinking? I blew out a frustrated breath Well, no ti about it now As my mom would say, I’d ht of bed and sleeping arrangeoodness it wasn’t going to have to be with one of the guys I gazed around the roosts, counting theuys slept in the bedroo a bed with Mr Octopus Ar a deep breath, I pushed uys were lounging around the table when I ca okay?" Brayden asked, his expression one of deep concern

"Uto a bet to stay on a bus with a group of absolute strangers, not to mention they’re pretty hard-core rockers" I forced a smile to my lips "But besides that, I’m peachy"

Brayden nodded "I can understand how they feel I have two younger sisters as well as an eight-hter"

"Aw, can I see a picture of her?"

Happily, he dug his phone out of his pocket and handed it over to me His screen saver was of a beautiful dark haired, dark eyed grinning baby girl as well as sandy haired little boy with blue eyes "That’s Melody Lane And that’s Jude Paul--he’s four"

"Let uess Any chance you’re an intense Beatles fan?" I questioned with a grin

Jake groaned beside us "More like Bray is Beatles obsessed He likes to think he’s Paul McCartney"

Brayden only shook his head good-naturedly at Jake’s dig "I do a lot of song writing just like Paul, and I’uitar player"

I smiled at him "Well, I adore the Beatles too They’re my parents’ favorite, so I was raised on the?" Brayden asked

"Without a doubt, Let it Be"

He clapped his hands together gleefully "Mine too! And so written by the fabulous Paul McCartney"

I laughed "Exactly" I stared down at the picture again "Your children are absolutely adorable, Brayden Jude’s got future heartbreaker written all over him"

"Yeah, he takes after e ofto be in a lot of trouble in about twelve or thirteen years"

He grimaced "Tell me about it I’ll be even more over-protective with her than ine because irl isn’t easy, especially with the age difference The twins, Gabe and Eli, are twenty-six, and Micah’s twenty-eight"
