Note to self: Practice Hard. Play Harder.

“Are you going to tell me what happened last night?” Beau asks from his stool across from me.

“Nothing happened. I just had to say goodbye to a friend. That’s all,” I reply, studying the music sheet in front of me.

“I’m sure that was difficult, but those kinda tears? That was something else. I could feel it. I could see it all over your face. Talk to me, darlin’,” he says, gently prodding me into submission. I look up and am instantly pulled into those amazing eyes with his sincerity and compassion.

I stare at him for several heartbeats trying to decide how much of my life I want to give up. I want to share everything with Beau the man, but I’m scared to dive into it all with Beau my coach, the country superstar. Before I can open my mouth, he jumps up and moves his stool around the music stands and sits right next to me.

“What is it?”

I sigh deeply knowing that he won’t let me go without spilling the reason for my emotional breakdown last night. “Tell me why you picked this song.”

“What?” he asks, confused about how we jumped from my personal problems to the song I’m singing this week. “Joan Jett? Because she rocks. Even a small town cowboy like me can respect her ability to rock out better than most men from the eighties. This song is classic. Sassy. Take no shit from a man. He did her wrong and she’s lettin’ him have it. Besides lovin’ the song, I think you’d kill it on stage and it suits you well. Why?”

I take another deep breath before I continue. “I have a son. His name is Eli and he’s three-years-old.”

“You have a kid? What’s he like?” he asks, his surprise instantly transforming into genuine interest.

“He’s perfect. He has dark brown hair and matching eyes. His smile lights up the entire room, and his heart is bigger than anyone’s I know. He’s at home with my mom while I’m here and it’s slowly killing me inside every day. I miss him a lot,” I say, my words dropping down to just above a whisper. Beau reaches over and wipes at the tear on my cheek. The tear I didn’t even realize I was shedding.

“He sounds like an awesome kid,” he replies with a sideways smile.

“He’s the best.”

“So, he’s at home with your mom? Where’s his dad?”

Colton. There’s a subject I don’t like to talk about, and especially with someone like Beau Tanner. The last thing I want is the reminder of my stupidity or the fact that it’s possible to give one person so much control over you–over your heart–that they leave it in devastated, shattered pieces when they give it back.

“That’s a long story, and I think you have a plane to catch shortly,” I reply trying to buy a little more time.

“I have time, and you’re my last rehearsal this morning. So? Tell me about his dad.”

“His dad. Well, Eli never met him.
