Max took her hand and let her out of the kitchen. What the **** is this really about? Patty? Max ran his hand through his hair. Look, I'm worried and scared for you. I'm still your big brother. Even if you are in your twenties. I've been in this business long enough to know signs that should scare me. Those calls scare me. Yeah. Okay, I understand that. But why, Rex? When I was out running with Zeke and Rex, we were talking about it. Rex offered. Since he was taking time off from teaching. He was going to look for a job out here while he was off. Anyway, it all kind of fell into place. Elissa looked past Max to Rex. Something was different about him. She couldn't place it, but the good old Southern boy wasn't there. He seemed harder. There was something Elissa didn't know. Why did he take time off teaching? No clue. You should ask him that. Starting today. He is going to be by your side. Morning, noon and night. Eliza couldn't help the iro. Jeez, Patty, this is crazy. Humor me, Okay? Max looked at Rex, then back to Elissa. I think this could be good for both of you. With a tight smile, Max walked back into the kitchen. She contemplated going back to bed. Maybe if she woke up again, it would have all been a bad dream. Pinching herself. She knew it was her reality. Reality sucked. All right, baby sitter. Let's go! I'm driving! Elissa marched to the door before she could pull open the door. Rex was there, holding it shut. The door opens in, Elissa snapped. Adra, you eat. Rex handed her breakfast sandwich and a coffee. Chrissy was a godsend. Thank God Patty found her. Her stomach grumbled loudly, and Rex lifted an eyebrow. Fine. We need to go to studio. J T. V. Rex nodded and backed away from the door. Elissa moved toward her car, but soon realized Rex was headed to his own vehicle. It was an all black SUV would severely tinted windows. Jeez, they really went all out with cloak and dagger stuff. She was about to protest, but she took a bite of the sandwich and didn't care anymore. Elissa hopped into the lifted SUVs passenger seat. Rex pulled out of Max's driveway and headed to her downtown. L A. With each bite of sandwich, Elissa moaned. She'd have to ask Christie to make her these sandwiches more often. Flowers or a nice fruit arrangement would be a good bribe. Good. Rex. Ground out between clenched teeth. Yep. Chrissy is an angel. I was just making a mental note to beg her to make me more of these wonderful sandwiches. Elissa finished the sandwich and mourned its loss. I'm sure that could be arranged. Silence settled in the car between them. Elissa watched as they passed by famous landmarks. She had been in L. A for almost two years and had never done the touristy stuff. All of that would have to wait. With everything going on with the band. She wouldn't be able to do any of that until they were done touring or if she was sent packing. What were you thinking about over there? Rex asked Elissa side. I was just thinking that I've been in L. A for close to two years and never did any of the tourist attractions. That's gonna have to wait now. Rex glanced over at her. Why? Why what? Why haven't you done the tourist stuff? I'm a worker. I work so often that I've never just set time aside for that. Rex nodded. Elissa turned in her seat. My turn. Why did you quit teaching? He gripped the steering wheel tightly, and Elissa watched his jaw tighten. The longer Elissa waited for her question to be answered, she realized that he wasn't going to answer. Come on, tell me. It's only fair Since I answered your question. Rex glanced over at her there. Yeah, a conversation takes two people. I ask a question. You ask a question. Get it? He grimaced. I know what a conversation is. Peach Elissa curled her nose up at the nickname Don't call me Peach.
