Chapter 42: Another Album

A laugh-sob escaped my throat. “How do you do that?”

 

“What?” He gave me a fixed stare.

 

“Know exactly what I’m feeling, what I need.” I sniffled. “No, I haven’t eaten.”

 

“That’s what I figured.” He reached over and grabbed a juice from the fridge as well as a bag that contained something.

 

“Here. You don’t want to lose your strength.”

 

I opened the juice and took a drink before opening the bag. It was a blueberry muffin. I took a bite. “Delicious,” I said, after I swallowed. “Thank you.”

 

“Anything for you.”

 

While I ate, he watched me and when I finished, he took the trash and threw it away. “The label wants our band to record another album, which means another tour.” He rubbed his hands down his face. “I’m not sure I’m ready for that.”
