very good price. He’d decided to make it the premiere club in Miami and had done just that, transforming the former cigar factory’s entryway with a Chihuly glass sculpture installation of the night sky showing two moons—a blue moon. And then decking out the rest of the club all in dark Latintones. Upstairs there was a rooftop club that echoed the streets of Havana back in their pre-Castro glory days.
    Now he knew he had to find something else to pour his energy into and Justin had suggested a club in Manhattan. Nate liked the idea because the A-listers there were more accessible than other areas of the country, but Nate had said he’d make it work wherever they wanted to open their new club. He had to think through he details, and he would need to start putting together a team to bring the project to life. They’d all agreed that another Luna Azul wasn’t exactly what they wanted. They needed to make that club unique from the one in Miami.
    Opening a club was time-consuming, which was why he’d always been into short-term affairs. He’d had to raise his brothers and he hadn’t had for another emotional commitment.
    â€œYou look very serious, bro,” Nate said, coming up behind him and patting him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. I calmed down the local leaders over the latest Mercado drama. We have a meeting set for tomorrow.”
    Cam turned and gave his brother a quick hug. “I’m glad. I’m thinking about the new club idea.”
    â€œGood,” Nate said. His brother looked like he’d stepped off the pages of GQ magazine, which was why he was the public face of the company, the one who always showed up in the tabloid gossip columns. “What are your thoughts?”
    His ideas were rough, but they were starting to take form. He needed something different. The club scene inNew York was just as competitive as in Miami, maybe even more so, and they’d need to be different to stand out.
    â€œThat we need something to reflect whatever community we are a part of up there. I was hoping to do something in Spanish Harlem.”
    â€œReally? Tell me more.”
    They’d played a key role in revitalizing the stylized Little Havana area here in Miami, and he was pretty sure they could do the same thing in New York. They just had to have the right idea.
    â€œI know. I was thinking a retro-styled club that captures the glory of the old days. It might fit the city better than a Luna II-type deal.”
    Nate rubbed the back of his neck. “I like the idea, but it’s really different from what we’ve done before. That will mean a new design team and everything. I think we should stick to doing what we do best and that’s a Little Havana-style club.”
    â€œI have the perfect designer in mind for this new project. In fact, she’s going to do the interiors on all the redesigns of the shops in the Mercado.”
    â€œOf course you know the perfect person. Cam, when are you going to realize that life isn’t perfect? You always have every angle covered,” Nate said.
    Cam tried to always appear to his younger brothers as if he had it all together. It was easy enough when things were going well as they had been for the last few years. But when the company had initially struggled or when their parents had died and Cam had had tofind the strength inside himself to step up and keep his brothers focused and happy, it had been hard.
    â€œI try, but Nate, I know that life isn’t perfect. We grew up in the same house, didn’t we?”
    â€œYes. And I came out of it with my own baggage and lately I’m beginning to see that for you it’s a desire to make everything picture-perfect. No faults allowed.”
    Was that true? “I don’t think I’m that difficult.”
    â€œListen, man, I love you. You’re my big brother and you always have my back, but you are one demanding son of a bitch and I
