“So?” Anticipation fluttered in my stomach.

“Let’s go to Paris, baby.”

I screamed.










Chapter 19

Tomorrow

For the fiftieth time, Chase replayed the last ten seconds of the Beatles’ Strawberry Fields Forever.

I laughed and wrapped myself in a huge red cashmere blanket. The soft fabric caressed my skin like a devoted lover. I’d refused to unfold my body from the blanket since I first discovered it.

“Did you catch that?” Chase asked.

“No.” Grinning, I rolled my eyes. “Okay. Play the song just one more time.”

“Pay attention.” He pouted and replayed the last vocals again.

The bed vibrated from the plane’s engine, which Chase claimed was under his small bedroom.

After two bottles of wine, we debated the impossibility of the engine’s location for an hour. Unfortunately, the pilot confirmed Chase’s claims, but I bet the poor guy was too scared to go against him.

Chase paused the song. “Can you hear it?”

I shrugged. “I can barely make it out and only because you told me John Lennon is saying ‘Cranberry sauce.’ However, I can see why people thought it was ‘I buried Paul.’”

“Well, when people heard it, there were all these rumors that Paul McCartney was dead.”

I stretched my legs and bent my toes as I made myself more comfortable on his bed. “You act like you were alive then.”

“I wish.” He set the stereo’s remote down on the tiny nightstand next to us. “The music from the ’60s and ’70s beats anything that’s been released nowadays.”

“Oh no.” I hid under the blanket. “You’re one of those clowns who thinks old music is better than new.”

“It is. Name something that’s better than what I’ve played for you tonight.”
