"Hi Tay." She smiled.
"Hey. Whatcha listening to?"
"Indecision's Christmas album, funnily enough."
Taylor smiled.
"Good isn't it?"
"Yeah."
Taylor stretched and his back let out a crack.
"Ooh…" he groaned. "That felt good."
Rita giggled.
"It didn't sound too good," he continued, "but it sure felt good."
Rita giggled again.
"I can't believe the year has gone so quickly." She said.
"Yeah, it has hasn't it?"
There was a brief silence as Taylor leaned over and gave her a kiss.
"Hey you two! Ix-nay on the smooching! We have a show to do!" Zac said, bounding into the room.
"Ahh, you're just jealous that Rita's here and Kel isn't."
"Maybe, maybe not… but our public awaits!"
Taylor shook his head with a smile.
"I will be back soon, my love." He said to Rita.
Zac pulled a face at him.
"Hey," said Isaac, walking in then too, "am I the only one who knows we've got a concert to do?"
"Excuse me?" Zac said. "I believe you sent me in here to get Tay, and now you're accusing me of not following orders?"
Isaac gave him a look. Then he pointed to the door.
"Stage you two. March. Hup, two, three, four."
"Yessir!" Zac and Taylor said together with cheeky grins.
"And no slouching! Chests out, tummies in!" Isaac joked. "Hup, two, three, four. Hup, two, three, four."
Rita giggled at the sight of Isaac saying 'Hup, two, three, four" as he followed his brothers out the door.
