WHEN THE TOUR HEADS TO TEXAS, I’M GRATEFUL FOR THE TIME to sleep in my own bed. The schedule has been grueling and nights with Dallas haven’t included a lot of actual sleep. Not that I’m complaining.

As much as I want to crash for the entire weekend, the first thing I do when I arrive home is have lunch and go shopping with my mom. I fill her in about Dallas being on the tour and she sort of half-yells at me for not calling her with this news sooner.

Sitting across from me at our favorite Tex-Mex place, she adjusts the vibrant pink scarf covering her head and gapes at me. “Are you sure you’re okay with this? Working with him after everything?”

I don’t bother filling her in on the details of our little arrangement.

“I’m fine. It’s been surprisingly okay.” Better than okay, really, but this is my mom here. Plus she doesn’t know why we broke up and I have no plans of ever telling her.

I was always closer with my dad, but after he passed away, my mom and I definitely bonded. When she got sick, I couldn’t stand the thought of losing another person I loved so I became dedicated to making sure I did everything in my power to keep her healthy.

The older I get, the more I realize how much she and I have in common. We’re both control freaks with slight OCD tendencies who obsess about plans and lists and agendas. Funny, when I was younger, those things drove me half-crazy about her. Now I get it, though, the need for control in a world of chaos. You have to take it where you can get it.

Once I’ve convinced her I can handle the tour, she moves on from Dallas and peppers me with questions about Jase Wade. I knew she was a fan, but sheesh. When she asks if he’s seeing anyone, I’m almost nervous for him since I got her backstage passes for the show tomorrow night. Maybe I should have them bulk up Wade’s security. Dixie will be there, too, though Dallas texted and said Gavin wouldn’t be able to make it. It’s odd to me that he can’t come to his best friend’s show, but Gavin Garrison has never been the predictable type.

After a long afternoon with my mom, one that ended with us hearing Dallas on the radio telling the world that he’s a single man, I’m thankful when I get home to a note from Katie saying she’s staying with a friend and not to wait up.

I’ve just decided to run myself a hot bubble bath when my phone buzzes in my purse. I retrieve it, smiling when I see Dallas on the screen.

“Hey, you,” I say. “Enjoying being home in the great state of Texas?”

“It could be worse, I guess.” He doesn’t sound like himself. He sounds like someone ran over his dog, or maybe even him.

“You okay?”

“Can I come by? It doesn’t have to be for .
