By the time Friday night came, and the girls had flown into the Eastern Iowa Airport, tensions were running high. We'd been at the arena for sound checks, but that had been difficult without Jonah there because he had messaged that his flight had been delayed. As If I hadn't enough on my plate, I'd found myself tracking his flight from Chicago.

It wasn't all Jonah's fault. He'd gone to a family funeral the day before with the intention of being back in Iowa first thing. The flight he'd been on had been diverted to another airport for technical reasons. I was hard on myself for that mistake, and made a mental note that from that day going forward, all band members had to stay in the same town the night before each performance, if that were possible.

I'd tried to arrange a charter to bring him down, but by the time they'd found a pilot that was free Jonah was through security and at the gate, waiting to board a plane that had been allocated for his flight.
