Page 91 of Timeless: Encore

A jaw-dropping moment that has set the music world abuzz. If you were one of the lucky few in the crowd who experienced that brief but meaningful moment of vulnerability, know that you’re now a part of the most iconic moment in Seattle rock history.

LTZ will release new music this spring followed by a brief eight-week US tour this summer followed by three weeks in Europe.

“That’s fucking awesome.” I’m stoked. Playing together after everything we’ve overcome made it, quite possibly, one of my favorite shows ever.

Fee leads the women in from the converted playroom. “What’s awesome?”

”Read this.” Jace hands her his tablet, still looking like a rockstar professor in his readers.

The ladies all gather around to read the article, jostling for position good-naturedly. Every now and then, we hear an ooh or ahh or squeak of approval. The four of us watch them like lovestruck fools. Probably because we are.

Lovestruck fools, that is.

”This is the sweetest article ever, baby.” Zoey slithers up to Ty, who’s tending to the bacon frying on the flat grill. “Mythical…yeah,” she sighs.

Ronni guffaws, nearly spitting out her orange juice. “Uh, we all know what you’re really referring to, miss Zoey.”

“Not that you’d know about that thing, my love.” Connor’s arched eyebrow and gruff pout at his wife has us all in stitches.

Of course I take it too far. “It runs in the family.” I grab my crotch and wink at Fiona. “Inherited trait and all…”

A chorus of disgusted groans ensues.

“What? Am I wrong?” I pout, just a little. To make Fee laugh.

She grabs my jaw and leans in close. “Yes. Your cock is super huge, Zaney. So, so big. Massive. There. Now your entire family knows.” She presses her lips to mine.

“Uh, what’s all of this about?” Carter’s face is beet red. Lianne looks like she wants to fall through a trap door in the floor.

“Nothing,” we all say in unison. Too loudly.

Ty motions to the empty seats at the counter. “Have a seat.”

We spend all afternoon hanging out, basking in the glory of being together after our epic reunion. Which, for me, was better than I could have ever hoped for. Considering all this year has in store for us as couples and as a band, events happened as they should have. We’ve all learned and grown and are in a better place now.

I look forward to every single day I get to spend with my band, their wives and my mom and dad.

And, of course, Fee.

A couple hours later, Fee, Mia, and I are bundled up in winter coats making the short trek back home. Gus’s opening went off without a hitch, Fee popped in a couple times, but Justice ran the show so she could be with me at The Mission.

The little things we’re doing to prioritize our relationship make all the difference in the world.

We hang out with Mia doing a puzzle until her bedtime, grateful we have a week before she goes back to school. With the holidays, my dad’s proposal, Gus’s opening and our show, she’s been with Olga too often without us. We plan to spend the entire week doing family stuff. Cherishing our little girl the way she deserves.

“Want me to tuck you in, Meems?” I ruffle her hair as the three of us head upstairs.

She cocks her head. “I’m eight, don’t you think I’m too old?”

“Uh, no. I loved it when my mom tucked me in. I think I was at least thirteen before I was too old,” I lie, mainly because I want to stretch out my stories with her for as long as she’ll let me. While I love the young lady Mia is becoming, I also want to freeze her in time.

“Okay. We’re a little behind onThe Flea and the Fly, as you know.” She flips her hair and disappears into her closet, returning two minutes later in her jammies.

I spend the next hour creating the next installment of our story until she drifts off to sleep. I kiss her sweet forehead and shut off the light on her nightstand and leave her to have sweet dreams.

Fee’s in bed reading when I cross the long hall into our room. “Hey, sexy cock man.” She purses her lips, teasing me about earlier today.

“What? I do have a big cock. Why should Ty get all the mythology?” I cup my junk and shake it.
