Chapter 23

“Why didn’t Omar tell us?”

It wasn’t until we’d finished freaking out and gotten back to Casey’s apartment that Omar called me. And he was not happy.

“They released it early! They weren’t supposed to release the single until nextThursday! I specifically told them! That means we have to hurry and get you back out as soon as possible to finish recording.”

“When do you need me?”

“Can we move your flight up a couple days? Can you leave Sunday instead?”

I looked at Casey, who nodded vigorously. “That should work. I’d just need to get coverage for work.”

“I’ll redo your flight itinerary. Talk to you soon.”

I hung up and turned to Casey, who smiled. “We need to celebrate! Let’s pregame before the show!”

“You know I don’t like to drink before a show.”

He sighed. “Fine. Have water. I’ll drink.”

Soon, he was two beers in and we had to leave in half an hour.

“You know you have to be sober to drive, right?”

“I’m totally fine. I’ve got a high tolerance to alcohol now.”
