    Summary

    “I just,” Pomni whispered, doing this little slow-blink that drove him nuts right up at him, and his heart clenched. She seemed surprised to admit, “I can’t think of anything to say.”

    Jax thought that someone could have driven a train through the place right now and still he wouldn’t have turned away from her. The truth was he didn’t have any ideas himself of what to say, but in disclaiming this herself she hadn’t said anything he needed to respond to, anyway. He could have stayed silent and they both would have been content with that, he thought. But her eyes were so open and honest and there was this squeezing feeling in his chest that felt deeper than a heartbeat, and he heard his own voice pipe up, anyway. 

    “I …” he whispered. Quietly admitting,  “Me, neither.”

    Summary

    Pomni stepped into the room just a little, leaning her weight back against the door. She thought about toying with him a little, but at the end of the day, she really just wanted to get down to it. Pressing her lips together, she glanced quickly around the hall, watchful for familiar faces that actually might question her if they saw who she was talking to.

    When she felt the coast was sufficiently clear, she turned back to him. “What are you doing after work?”

    Jax only stared at her for a beat or two, his eyes a touch wider than they had been a moment ago. He seemed surprised to hear her be so forward—an unintended effect, but not an unwelcome one.

    At length, though, he smirked. “You tell me.”

    Summary

    Pomni swore she was done with Jax the night they broke up for the third time. But “done” doesn’t mean much when you’re back on tour, sharing stages, cheap motel rooms, and the same bottle of tequila.

    Velvet Static is rising fast—and falling apart even faster. Between midnight gigs, afterparties, and lyrics that sound a little too familiar, Pomni and Jax keep finding their way back to each other.

    Summary

    “I know the whole show today hurt’cha, but ya had to experience it at some point. We all have. So let’s get over that,” he says nonchalantly, as easily as a litterbug tossing a wrapper onto the pavement, “And let me help ya wind down. Consider it a ‘friendly gesture.’”

    Summary

    “Can you just make people do anything?”

    Jax shrugs. “I dunno. Only used it once. Why, you volunteering?”
