“Right.”Noah winced at the reminder.“Or a Tin Gods fan anymore.It didn’t end very pretty.Words were said—yelled, actually.And then she threw her drink, and I ducked, so it went all over Ella.It was a shitshow.I bet it’ll be all over social media tomorrow.”
“Sounds like Ella got the short end of the stick,” Lark said with a wince.
Bailey’s eyebrows went up.“In more ways than one, if she’s still managing your socials.”
“Maybe you need to vet the winner more next time,” I added.
“Or not fawn all over the band instead of her,” Lark coached helpfully.
“Oh fuck.There’s not going to be a next time.”Noah laughed.“I’m not looking to repeat this shitshow.And I can’t be with anyone who doesn’t get my love of music.That’s a non-negotiable.”
We all nodded along since we got it.That’d be a non-negotiable for all of us too.Or would be if we ever dated someone seriously.
“You ladies good to drive this behemoth home?”Noah asked, clearly eager to change the subject.“Who’s the DD?”
I couldn’t look away from the muscles on display until Lark’s elbow pushed into my side.“Ouch.I’m driving and I’m sober.”
“Do I need to ask you to walk a line for me?”Noah teased with a cute little smile.
What the hell was wrong with me?I shook my head.“Nah, I only had a sip a few hours ago.Been downing water since then.Cuz I’m boring like that.”
“She’s our little mother hen.”Lark swung an arm around my shoulders, pulling me close to her.“This one doesn’t fuck around.”
I shrugged uncomfortably.
“Well, all right then.Drive safe, and I’ll see you guys at church tomorrow.Night.”
“Thanks.”
“Night.”
“Thank you.”
We all chorused as we watched Noah and one of the security guards walk to the back corner of the lot.
“Oh my god!”Bailey squealed.
“Wow.”Lark shook her head.“This has been a weird night.”
“So weird.”I sighed.“You ladies ready to roll?”
“Let’s get out of here,” Bailey agreed.
We said goodbye to the remaining security guard and headed out.
