Page 59 of Breathless With Her

Although, honestly, I didn’t know if I wanted Zoey to have to deal with my brother.

“So, who’s playing today?” Tobey asked, echoing Zoey’s earlier question as he put away his phone. “I didn’t really have time to look at any of the headliners or lists. But Amelia said she wanted to come out, so I’m here.” He grinned down at my sister and kissed the bridge of her nose.

She blushed, and I met Caleb’s gaze, and then Erin’s, and then Zoey’s, and then Tucker’s.

We all just shook our heads.

Were they dating?

Well…maybe.

But if I asked, Amelia would likely kick me in the shin, and I really didn’t want to have to deal with any new bruising.

“A few local bands are starting soon, and then the bigger bands will wrap it up. It’s an all-day thing, though, so do you want to go get a couple of beers and maybe some food?” Amelia asked, pulling out her phone but still leaning into Tobey.

“Beer sounds good,” Caleb said.

“A beer sounds wonderful,” Erin said as she wrapped her arm around my waist.

“I should have tried to bring Jenn and her husband. They never get to do anything like this.”

“Kids?” Tucker asked, staring down at her with such intensity that it worried me. But that was just Tucker. He was an intense kind of guy.

“Yes. Three little girls.”

“I can probably scrounge up three more tickets if needed.”

“No, it’s fine. They have plans as a family. But maybe next time we all do something like this.”

“I think Jenn would like that.”

Tucker snapped his fingers. “Jenn. Your ex?” Tucker waggled his brows, and I flipped him off.

“Hey, I’m fine with it. And you get to be, too,” Erin said sweetly. But I had a feeling there was a bit of edge to that. I liked it.

“Hey, I’m not getting in the middle of that.”

Zoey left Caleb’s side and wrapped her arm around Tucker’s waist. Tucker slid his arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.

“You like to get in the middle of everything, Tucker,” Zoey said with a laugh.

“She knows me. It hurts. But she knows me.” He put his hand over his heart and gave his chest a good rub. “Okay, I already know where we’re sitting, and I got it set up for us. VIP seating and everything.”

“How did you get all of this?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.

“It pays to know people.”

“It pays to sleep with people,” Caleb muttered and ducked Tucker’s fist.

“Hey, I didn’t sleep with anyone. I just charmed, smiled, but it was all out of the good of my heart. No sex was needed.”

“Apparently, he’s just that good,” Zoey said, and the women tittered.

I met Caleb’s gaze and then Tobey’s, and then just shook my head.

I really did not want to have this conversation in front of my baby sister. Call me old fashioned.

We settled down in our seats, each with a couple of beers, a whole lot of water, and I got to feel up Erin’s back and neck when I redid her sunscreen.
