“Thanks. Music is the only thing I really love, so it’s cool that I’ve been able to make a career out of it.”
“And you’re damn good at it.” Britt beamed. “Mom mentioned your tour is ending in New York, but where’s your first concert going to be? I don’t want to wait until the summer to see you.”
I tilted my head to the side. “You’re going to come to one of our shows?”
She glanced at me in the rearview mirror. “Of course I am. The last time I saw you play in person was when you wonThe Band Showdown.”
“It’d be really cool to have you there, and it’s going to be way more epic than the reality competition or the local shows you saw back in the day. We’re starting in Toronto and then playing in Montreal. Do you think you’d be able to get the time off from your new job to come up?”
“I’m not sure, but it’s worth a try.” She turned to Cash. “Would you want to go?”
“For sure. We could make a weekend out of it. Although it will depend on whether I have a client at the time or not,” he replied.
“Well, let me know once you decide if you can make it, and I’ll add you guys to the VIP list.”
Cash reached over and linked his fingers with Britt’s. “Sounds like a good time to me.”
I looked at my sister’s boyfriend. “So you’re a Texas guy. Have you ever been skiing before?”
He laughed. “Not skiing, but I snowboarded once. Although, I’ll admit I wasn’t very good at it.”
“You told me you were excited to go snowboarding again,” Britt accused playfully.
“Let’s just say I’ll probably spend more time onmy ass than on my feet, but I thought seeing you in your little ski bunny outfit would be hot as hell.” He smirked.
“Gross.” I pretended to gag. “But I’ll snowboard with you. I like it better than skiing anyway.”
“Only because you think it makes you look cooler,” Britt teased. “It doesn’t by the way.”
The two of us were adults, but there was something about hanging out together that had us acting like kids who couldn’t help but give each other a hard time.
“Rock star versus doctor. I think I get to claim all of the cool points in this family,” I shot back.
Cash shook his head with a grin. “You guys are ridiculous.”
The banter continued as we recalled stories of past ski trips.
When the vacation rental came into view, Britt smiled. “We’re here. Let’s eat some lunch, then find out if Cash can stay upright on the slopes.”
We had just finishedlunch when I saw Britt resting her elbows on the counter and rubbing her temples. Cash must have noticed too, because he walked over to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
“You okay?” he asked.
“I have a massive headache,” she admitted. “Probably just dehydrated or something.”
“You should rest,” Mom chimed in. “Why don’t you lie down for a bit?”
Britt shook her head. “No. I promised Cash we’d go to the resort.”
Cash looked down at her. “You’re not feeling good. I’ll stay back with you.”
“No way.” She waved him off. “You’ve been looking forward to this trip just as much as I have.”
“I know, but you really should lie down. We can go out tomorrow.”
“Laying down actually sounds good,” Britt agreed. “But you should go with Silas and have fun.”
He glanced my way, and I shrugged. “It’s cool with me.”
