“Not as much as I’d like, but every now and then I pop in.I’ve known Liam for a while; he’s one of our biggest fans, and I’ve met the whole family.”
“Family?”
Jamie smiles wistfully as he looks towards the counter.“They’re all one big family, one you want to be a part of.”

“Liam and Rain are a couple,” I tell him.“Rain is that guy’s sister — her brother is Aaron, the man with the long beard.”
He listens, then glances at the people I mentioned, careful not to stare.
“Aaron is with Patrick’s sister, the girl with pink hair.”
“The one who looks like a hippie?”
I laugh.“She is an artist.Her name is Ciara.”
He nods, curiosity flickering in his eyes.
“Erin’s with Patrick.Jay, the hot tattooed guy two tables down, is with Alex, the blonde behind the counter.They’re childhood friends, too.”
He brushes past the word ‘hot’, but I catch the look on his face.
“I think I’m lost.”
“They all grew up together, including Neil — Liam’s brother and Rain’s boyfriend.”
“Am I watching a soap opera with subtitles?”
“They were friends, and they were a band, until Liam, Neil, and Rain had an accident.”
“And that explains the scar.”
“You are observant, Doctor.”
He shrugs, embarrassed.
“Neil is dead.And Rain…”
“She never recovered.”
“Not completely.”
“Head injury?”
“You are really good, Doctor.”
“Stop flattering me.”
“The band broke up, Liam left, and they opened this club,Only4You.”
“Don’t tell me, please.I don’t want to burst into tears in front of you.I thought I still had a chance before you told me this story.”
“They did it for her.”
“There, I knew it.If I embarrass you now, don’t complain.”
