I groaned and banged my head against the desk in my hotel room. How could I have forgotten something so vital?!
"Ser?" I heard Connor ask behind me.
"Go away. I need to kill myself right now," I mumbled through the desk.
"What's the matter?" he asked, coming up and rubbing a hand up and down my back.
"You know how, when I first started with the company, I had a show coming up and I put it off?"
Connor nodded his head as I turned mine to see him.
"Well, it's next week. Thursday next week. And I'm completely not ready."
"Of course you're ready, you're just nervous," Connor said confidently.
I sat up and shot him a glare, "Go away," I said.
Connor shrugged his shoulders; "I'm only trying to help."
"You're not."
"I hate to ask this, especially the way you're feeling right now, but are you ready to go?"
"Go where?"
"Sweetie, we have to pick up your cousin at the airport and go to the arena," he said watching me.
I groaned and banged my head against the desk again, "I forgot."
"Come on," he said, rubbing my back, "Let's go pick up Kate."
Grumpy, I stood and grabbed my purse, "Let's go," I said heavily.
We arrived at the airport and I looked at the arrivals board, swearing lightly under my breath, Kat's flight had arrived fifteen minutes ahead of schedule. Hurriedly, we wove our way through the crowds to find her gate.
"Re Re!" I heard someone call to my left and I veered that way to see my cousin waving at me, a huge grin on her face.
Kat's smile had always been infectious, and I'd missed her so much since I'd been on the East Coast and she on the West. Grinning widely, I hugged her tightly.
"I missed you so much," I whispered into her ear.
"Missed you more," she returned, hugging me tightly.
We broke apart, each of us grinning and linked arms as we began walking towards where Connor was waiting, apparently having grabbed Kat's bags from the luggage conveyor.
"Connor, you remember Kat don't you?"
"How could I forget your lovely twin?" he asked, a charming smile on his face.
Kate laughed and leaned up to press a kiss to Connor's cheek.
"It's good to see you Connor, I hope you've been keeping my cousin out of trouble?"
Connor shrugged as we walked along; then let out a chuckle, "As much as I could. But what she does with Superman is none of my concern."
Kate snorted out a laugh and pulled me tighter to her, making my smile soften.
"You tell him that I was stealing you after the show?"
I nodded my head, "I was showing him some pictures of the two of us from when we were younger," Kate interrupted me with a groan.
"You didn't!"
"Only the good ones. I swear," I told her, "Like our junior and senior prom pictures that we took together. And our senior photos. And a couple others like that."
Kate rolled her eyes, "I can't believe you did that Re. Please tell me you didn't show him any of the ones from our freshman year."
I shook my head, "Nope, promise."
With a grin at my cousin, the three of us left the airport.
