Little Red Merlot in Their Care

For years my sobriety has come first, and so has proving to my bandmates that standing by me through the damage I caused was worth it.

On the final night of our tour, I am drugged without my consent, and both my sobriety and my safety are put to the hardest test yet.

Our drummer has brought his parents, Huck and Ava Anders, backstage, and they look after me until the drug is gone.

They are my best friend’s parents, yet caretaking is not where they intend to stop.

They want me together—both of them, and for always.
