“It’s all set,” Mossy told her on Thursday morning.

“What’s all set?” She laid her guitar on the couch, giving her full attention to the phone.

“Your date with Jay.”

“What date?” She felt a mixture of excitement and angst. Was this really happening?

“Remember I told you that Jay was charmed by you? That he wanted to go out with you?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, it’s all set.”

“Seriously?” She sank into a chair, trying to absorb Mossy’s words. She was going out on a date? For real? She’d never been on a date before, and now she was going out with Jay Grayson! It seemed impossible and wonderful—and totally crazy. How would she know how to act? What to say? What to do?

“I thought you’d be excited.”

“Of course, I’m excited. But I’m also a little shocked. And why isn’t he calling me himself?”

Mossy laughed. “Jay is a busy boy, Gracie. He’s probably filming right now. Do you want him to ask everyone on the set to take a break so that he can call—”

“Yeah, yeah, I get it.”

“Anyway, tonight’s the big night. Jay will pick you up around seven-thirty or eight.”

“What kind of date is this?”

“A dinner date, of course.”

“Why does everyone eat dinner so late here?”

He laughed. “You’ll get used to it, Gracie, in time.”

“Okay, so how do I dress?” she asked, thinking maybe it was a good thing Moss had set this up. That way she could ask all the questions she wanted.

“You dress to kill,” he said.

“Really?”

“Oh, yeah, baby. This is a big night. A date with Jay Grayson. You want to look like the rock star you are—make an entrance.”

“I thought you said this was a date.” She frowned. “Am I going to have to sing for my supper?”

He laughed. “You can be so funny sometimes.”

“Seriously, what do I wear? Like a dress? Like going to a cocktail party at the Reynolds’s?”

“Exactly. Like a party at the Reynolds’s. You get the picture.”

“Thanks, Moss.”

“Have fun tonight, Gracie.”

“Yeah, if I can get past these nerves, I’ll try.”

After she hung up, Grace considered calling Kendra for some fashion advice, but knowing that Kendra would probably want to overdo it, Grace decided to just go with her instincts. Besides, after these past few weeks, she’d learned a thing or two. She could put herself together without help tonight.

Of course, her focus on getting ready for her date completely derailed her from working on that “next song.” Not that she’d been having any success. As usual, she seemed to be suffering from songwriter’s block.

Grace was ready for her big date by seven. But as the hands on the clock slowly moved, it became seven-thirty. She anxiously looked out the window to the street, trying not to see the church and the cross, hoping to spy a cool car since she was certain he would be driving a very cool car. But as it got closer to eight, her stomach was growling, and she was just heading for the kitchen to grab a quick bite to ward off her hunger, when she heard someone knocking at her door.
