Sara dipped her spoon into the crème brulee. Bringing it to her mouth, she closed her eyes, savoring the silky custard. When she opened them, Chris was watching her, the candlelight reflected in his brown eyes. She was in deep trouble where he was concerned. He was charming as well as man candy handsome. He’d kept her entertained throughout the meal with amusing stories from his glory days.

“Hey, speaking of the old days,” she said with amusement lightening her voice. “I’ve been wanting to show you something.” Sliding her fingers around the screen of her smart phone, she spun it around so he could see the picture she’d brought up. “I wondered if you remembered this.”

Chris glanced at it and rolled his eyes. “Lovely,” he said drolly. “Where the hell did you find that monstrosity?”

“Oh, I have my ways,” she told him with a saucy wink.

“You wound me, woman.” Grimacing, he ran a finger around the rim of his brandy snifter. “I thought I’d been successful destroying all the remaining copies of that, but obviously not.” The photo had been taken at the Grammy awards in ’89, the big hairband era. He’d been at the pinnacle of his illustrious but brief career, and his hairdo had been one of the biggest.

“You look like a troll doll with hair extensions.” Sara smirked.

He raised his eyebrows.

“No I mean that in a good way.” She giggled as he growled. “Really, it’s a very sexy look.” Taking a sip of her coffee, she peered over at him, her expression thoughtful. “Why’d you get out of the music business, Chris?”

“After Andrea, I lost my interest in music, in performing, in all of it.” Chris ran a hand through his hair and was silent for a moment. “I wanted to take my life in a different direction so I went back to school. Got my GED and then a business degree.”

“I didn’t know that.” She tilted her head back. “A college degree, that’s a really big accomplishment.”

“It’s been a good thing to have. It’s helped me a lot in the classic car business, and it even helped me understand most of the contract I signed when Mary talked me into giving the musical thing another go.” His gaze settled on her face. “Since we seem to be doing all this reminiscing, why don’t you tell me how you got started in the business? Were you really only eighteen?”

“Yes. A musical career wasn’t even on my radar,” she explained, shivering when he turned her hand over and began tracing his finger lightly over her palm. “I was barrel riding at the time.”

“What?” His brow rose.

“You know, Rock ‘N Roll Boy, a timed rodeo event where you compete by riding a horse around barrels?”

“I know what it is, Sara.” He leaned back, arms folded across his chest. “I just find it hard to picture you doing something like that.”

She straightened her shoulders. “I was pretty good.”

“I don’t doubt that. I imagine you’re pretty good at whatever you set your mind to do,” he said, staring at her lips.
