Chapter 6

Over the course of the next few weeks, I hardly get any productive sleep. We jet from city to city, visiting a new one practically every night, until the names become a blur. Ashley and I find different ways to entertain ourselves, such as doing touristy things and trying local cuisines.

By some miracle, Julie manages to keep us out of the papers, so we are free to roam around without fear of paparazzi. We have to worry only when Kyle joins us, which he does more and more frequently now. On the really bad jet-lag days, we spend a few hours by the hotel pool, or we just lie in bed, watching movies.

While we are lying in bed one day, Ashley says, “I love shopping just as much as the next girl, but I seriously miss sleeping.”

“I don’t know how the guys keep up with this schedule.” I yawn so big my jaw makes a small popping sound.

A knock comes on our room door.
