He grinned "Yeah, I' room, sat down, and motioned for me to take another seat

Gabe leaned close "As I was starting to say before, nobody's mad at you It's us Not all of us are happy to be back on the road, and some of us don't even want to see each other We're a pretty dysfunctional band"

"Then why are you touring?"

"Mostly? You didn't mention why Buck's back on tour"

"Yeah, he's the only one who didn't want this We had to talk hi breath "Anyway, it hasn't been the s else after this tour"

Oh no! Their reunion was a shauess I'ether and 's what I expected I didn't expect to see orgies, either Didn't that go out with the sixties?"

"Fine So why a the silent treatot ive hi to you" He reached out and took my hands in his "Don't leave We want you on the bus Well, I do at least And I know River wants you there, too"

River wanted ood news But why did he run away as soon as I showed up? I pulled my hands back and sunk into the chair "He certainly has a strange way of showing it And what about Buck?"

"Buck wants you there, too Although he also has a strange way of showing it Besides not wanting to be on tour, he's going through some evil shit because of his divorce from Danielle So don't take it personally"
