At last, he dropped beside me, breathing hard. “Christ, Layla. I think I’m falling for you.”
My hunger grumbles broke the moment, so we ordered room service and talked about where they’d be playing for the next couple of days. He promised he’d be home on and off and finally for a longer stretch in a month.
“I don’t even know where we’re playing anymore. It’s always the same thing. Different view.”
I stole one of his fries. “Do you ever get tired of it?”
“Parts of it are tiring. Seeing Noah’s face gets old. But we worked so hard for this. It would seem ungrateful to find it tiring.”
“But normal. It’s grueling.”
“It is. And if we get more successful, it will only be crazier. I know what Adam’s life has been like. It’s no wonder he’s used parenthood to take an extended break to be with his family.”
I didn’t mention how much the fans hated that. I didn’t mention why I would know that. After his mini freak out earlier, I just wanted to relax into him and have this lightweight conversation about the near future. I’d figure it out. Maybe I’d just hand the forum over to Ash and be done with it. I didn’t think I could hang out in there like I once had anymore anyway. I’d seen too much. Fiction and reality had become divorced, and I couldn’t pretend otherwise.
“So, when will I see you again?”
He grinned. “You’re seeing me now.”
But I’d be on a train back to New York in the morning. He’d be on a bus to Providence. “And after this?”
“I’ll be home Wednesday for two days.”
“Two days. Well, we’ll have to make the most of our time together.” I touched his hand. “How tired are you now?”
He ran his finger up my arm. “I can sleep later.”
That was what I wanted to hear.

@Sailor8- There’s some talk about him bringing a girl to the show. There’s more detail on their forum—some pictures, too. Looks like he left with her.

Thanks, CF. I guess it was only a matter of time before he’d move on. Wonder if that’s a new girlfriend or if he’s open for business again.
