wouldn’t have liked him. But I did. He was sexy as hell.”
    Jack’s head snapped to the side, he glared at me.
    “What?”
    “Why would you say some shit like that to his wife?”
    Bell waved her hand. “Oh please, I knew that Stacey used to have a thing for Hank before I even met her. I can’t blame her. Besides, he’s not her type anymore.”
    “So true,” I said.
    Jack looked at the three us as if he was trying to understand our relationship. I supposed it would be confusing, especially for someone who had seen both sides of me. But I was honest with Baby and Bell. The truth just toppled out of my mouth when I was relaxed, without any filter or much thought. They were completely used it. Jack would figure it out soon enough.
    “It’s kinda funny, really. Back then Sean and Hank were a different man couple, too. Sean was the same, of course, quiet and introspective. And it was like, quiet dude and dark dude. It was a very different vibe. Now they are much more yin and yang, quiet and loud and obnoxious.”
    “I like loud and obnoxious,” Bell said.
    “I like quiet,” Baby said.
    “You two are ridiculous.”
    “What about you, Jack? Do you have a girlfriend?” Bell asked.
    “He just broke up with her before the tour,” I interjected.
    “Yes. In fact, I was staying in a hotel room for the last week before we left.”
    “You lived with her?” Baby asked.
    “I was crashing at her place, yeah.”
    “I’m so sorry.” Baby reached across the table and covered his hand. She was such a compassionate sucker.
    “Thanks, Baby. But I’m not broken up over it. It was one of those things that was over long before it really ended, you know what I mean?”
    “So what happened?” Bell asked.
    Jack leaned over, resting his arms on the table. “Well, she wanted to get married. I didn’t. Eventually, she gave me an ultimatum. She wanted me to promise that we’d get engaged. And she wanted the promise before I left on this tour. It was either that or break up. So we broke up.”
    “You didn’t really love her?”
    “No. We weren’t very compatible. We didn’t want the same things out of life. I’m not sure what even attracted me to her in the first place.”
    “Boobs,” I said. “I bet it was boobs.”
    “No, Princess. She was pretty, but not smoking hot.” He looked at me in a way that almost made me blush. “But she was a nice girl. She worked at the animal shelter, took care of her sick mom. She was sweet.”
    “A bleeding heart. Figures that’s your type.”
    “It is. I like nice girls.” He glared at me.
    “We’re going to find you one,” Bell said, a determined look in her eye.
    Jack ran his hand through his hair. “Thanks, Bell, but I don’t think that’s necessary.”
    “Where are we going to find a nice girl,” Baby asked Bell, “on tour?”
    “I don’t know. But we will.”
    “I’m in,” I said.
    Jack stared at me.
    “We’re headed to Florida for our mini-vacation soon. There’ll be nice girls there, I bet. Plus, I know some nice girls in New York.” I rubbed my hands together. “This will be fun.”
    Jack groaned.

    “Hey, what are you two doing?” Jack asked, as he came into the back room where the food had been served at the venue.
    “Henry and I are just finishing up,” I said, cleaning off the colossal mess on the table in front of my nephew. “And then we’re going to go for a walk.”
    “Alone?”
    “No, we’ll take a security guard with us.” I wiped off Henry’s hands while he squirmed. “You know, I’m glad they’re taking a few years off. Henry will get to grow up on the beach, ride his bike in the driveway, go to school. He won’t remember a time when he couldn’t take a walk around the block with his aunt alone because he might get kidnapped.”
    Jack walked across the room and stood beside me. “While that is a very real concern, I think the bigger issue right now is the paparazzi. There hasn’t been a picture of him since he was
