Chapter Nineteen

Early November.

Sarah and I had been living together as husband and wife for over a month.

When you don't know if you're going to live, you begin to count the time and you also make those days count. Each day she was getting stronger—and she was becoming the Sarah that I had known. Wanting to get back to her regular life, she had volunteered to work two days a week at Lyra's school as the class mom. It was little steps, but they were steps forward.

Leaving Sarah at home, I headed toward my meeting with SoCal. Sarah had decided to hang back. After Hawaii, I moved in with her fully. I sold my house and filled her garage with boxes that I had yet to sort through. Sarah had taken that task on as a project and while I was at SoCal she was home shifting though them. It was weird to walk through the halls knowing that I wouldn't see Sarah. When we had left London and Axel let it slip that Sarah worked at SoCal, I'd personally called Brian and specifically asked for her. I would find any excuse to see her and remind her what it was to be with me. It was my big plan to win her back.

It wasn't the best plan.

"Hey, Stace," I said and tapped on her door frame.

Stacey's career had developed with the band. She was first hired as Sarah's assistant when I'd demanded extra work so I could see Sarah. Once I found out about Lyra, Stacey took over so there wouldn't be a conflict of interest.

"Hey, stranger!" She jumped out of her seat and walked around the table to hug me. "How's Sarah? Lyra?"

"They're both really good." I walked further into her office.

She took a seat and got down to business. "We need to get you guys back out there. Axel's ready to get back on the road now that Edward's a little older, Travis has finished his bucket list and stopped climbing mountains, and Sarah is healthy." She beamed. "It's time we start creating a buzz and start talking about the new album."

"Works for me."

"Friday night you'll be on the late show with Tom Sloan. Since you're the face of the band, he asked personally for you. He has a special taping in Chicago. He'll ask you questions about your personal life, what the band has been up to, and you can announce the new album. It tapes earlier in the day so you have to be in Chicago by noon, or you can fly in the night before. Just let me know what works best for you and I'll have it set up."

"You have this all planned and ready to go?"

Stacey sat back on her chair and jokingly kicked her feet up in the air. "I learned from the best. Not to mention, if Sarah found out I wasn't delivering my A–game, she would come in here and kick my ass!"

I chuckled and shook my head. When it came to work, Sarah didn't play.

"So, what else is new?" Stacey asked.

I sat back and kicked my feet up like she had done. I made myself comfortable knowing that I would be a while catching up with life and our plan of action for the band.

I arrived home early that afternoon. Sarah sat in the center of the floor with my old vinyl records scattered around her.

"What are you up to?" I sang in the same beat that The Beatles were playing behind her.

"We need a music room." She closed her eyes and danced while she sat on the floor listening to Paul McCartney. "These need to be played every day and not hidden in boxes."

I strolled over to her, making sure I didn't step on any records. Pulling her off the floor, I laced my arms around her lower back and we began to step side to side. "I'll give you anything you want."
