Chapter 8

It had been two damned weeks since he’d heard from Leigh Anderson, and Jase was starting to think maybe he’d been wrong about her. He was damned disappointed to finally have to admit she must be one of those people who blew smoke.

He’d believed in her, trusted her, and he’d been dead wrong. It definitely wasn’t the first time, but it was the most crushing.

Leigh had gotten his hopes sky high, and now she was letting him freefall back to the ground. Jase was going to call Bobby Gillis this afternoon and see what the hell was going on. Bobby owned that new song, so he would probably know. The question was would he shoot any straighter with him than Leigh Anderson had.

The longer Jase was in this cutthroat business, the less he liked it, and the fewer people he trusted. Leigh Anderson had just been added to that list.

She had two professionally cut songs now, and there was no reason she shouldn’t have at least gotten nibbles for a couple of bigger gigs for him. Those songs were damned good, as good as anything he’d heard on the radio recently. He had a copy of the CD too, and if he didn’t hear from her soon, he’d be shopping them around himself.

The only problem was, as songwriter, Bobby Gillis owned the rights to the new song. He’d have to call him and feel him out this afternoon, before he did anything. But he didn’t trust that man any more than he trusted Leigh now. They could be in cahoots, and both be double-crossing him.

Jase should have gotten a clue from how fast she’d left him in Nashville. After they finished their session on Saturday afternoon, she dropped him off at the hotel, stuffed bills into his hand for cab fare then left like her ass was on fire. Because of what happened between them the night before, the connection he felt with her, he believed she was telling the truth when she said she had an emergency back in Dallas, that she had to leave on an earlier flight, but couldn’t get a seat for him.

No, in all likelihood she’d gotten what she wanted from him, and that was her way of exiting stage left without drama. She didn’t know him, Jase didn’t do drama either. She could’ve given him the brush off to his face and he could take it.

But she hadn’t had the balls to do that.

“Chickenshit bitch,” he growled, as he stuffed his spade under the pile of manure. Hefting it, he carried it out to the wheelbarrow in the aisle to dump it. Four more stalls to go, then he could try calling her again, he thought, going back inside for another load. He’d have to do that at home though, because his daddy had to go to work.

His life had fallen into the same daily routine again, a rut he feared he’d never break out of until he was a very old man. Jase didn’t want to resent his circumstances, but dammit he was starting to do just that.
