My cheeks flushed and I glanced at Maddox. A grin spread over his lips and he put his hand on Carter’s shoulder.
“I’m getting married.”
Carter frowned. “To who?”
“To me,” I said, my blush getting warmer.
No one said anything. The room was deathly still, and then Carter started chuckling. Once he started, none of us could resist. All four of us leaned on each other and laughed until tears streamed down our faces.
“Well, congratulations, I guess,” Carter said. “Am I the best man, or what?”
“Yeah,” Maddox laughed. “You are, you presumptuous bastard.”
Veronica glanced at me and I nodded. “And you’ll be my maid of honor.
”Monday morning, at the courthouse,” Maddox said.
“I’ll be there,” Carter said, shaking Maddox’s hand. My heart was so full, it felt like it was about to burst.
Garrett wasn’t far behind the other two. When he walked into the hotel room, his face was darker than usual. I glanced at Maddox, who frowned.
“Everything okay, Garrett?” He asked. Garrett slumped into the makeup chair and grunted.
“Yeah, everything’s fine,” he said. “Just got a lot on my mind.”
“You checked our gear at the Staples Center?”
“Yeah, it’s all fine, we’ll do a final check before we go on, but it should be good to go.”
Maddox and Carter nodded. I got to work on Garrett’s hair, giving him a tousled, rockstar kind of look. Veronica went to work snapping photos of the band. Morgan had posted some of Vee’s photos from New York to the band’s social media pages, and they’d gotten fantastic responses.
She clicked her camera towards Garrett when his phone rang. He pulled it out and I saw Morgan’s name flash on the screen.
“Miss me already, do you?” Garrett said as he answered, and my eyes widened. Veronica looked at me as her eyebrows shot up.
“What?” She mouthed. I shrugged, trying to keep my face neutral.
I couldn’t hear what Morgan was saying, but Garrett’s face dropped.
“I didn’t send them to her,” he said to the phone. His voice was calm, but there was an undercurrent of anger. “She blindsided me.”
What was he talking about? I glanced at Vee again, frowning. Something was wrong.
“I’ll handle it,” Garrett growled. He hung up the phone and pushed himself out of the chair.
“Good enough,” he grunted. “I think I’m pretty enough now,” he said to me, and I stepped back.
“Okay,” I said. “I was almost done anyways.”
“Who was that?” Carter asked. I glanced from him to Garrett to Maddox, not knowing whether I should stay there or give them some privacy. I opted to stay completely still.
“Morgan.” Garrett said. “We have a situation.”
Maddox’s straightened up. “What do you need us to do?”
“Just get ready for the show. I’ll meet you there.”
And with that, Garrett rushed out of the room. All four of us exchanged glances and frowns. Veronica let out a sigh.
