Reese

I don’t sing in front of a crowd for just anyone. I wanted to hide under the seat, but when I saw how happy Dex was, I couldn’t help but sing along with him. Today has been one of the best days I’ve had in a long time, all thanks to the man walking next to me—from waking up with him in my bed to walking hand in hand with full bellies.

“Aunt Reese!” I look ahead and see a head of blonde waves rushing to me. I bend and grab Rae as she slams into me, and I pick her up.

“My Rae of Sunshine,” I’ve been calling her that since I met her. I kiss her cheek. “What are you doing?” I look at her pink cheeks.

“We had lunch, and then I saw you walking in front of us.” She looks at Dex. “Who’s that?” I giggle as she analyzes him with furrowed eyebrows. “I thought you said you didn’t have a boyfriend.” She catches me off-guard.

“Is that so?” Dex asks, a charming smile on his lips.

“Uh… Um… This is…” We haven’t labeled what we have, but I know neither of us has any intention of seeing other people.

“I’m Dex. Let me guess, you’re Rae?” He gives her his dimpled smile, and Rae smiles in return.

“You’re right! How’d you know?” I hold her tight on my hip as Jason, pushing Ada in her stroller, and Cassidy Rae meet us on the sidewalk.

“I’ve heard a lot about you,” Dex tells her.

“So, you do have a boyfriend,” her voice squeaks when her eyes lock on mine.

“Yeah.” I nod slowly.

“Rae,” Cassidy Rae warns.

“Hey, guys.” I let Rae down to stand on the sidewalk and greet my brother and sister-in-law.

“What’s up?” Jason looks from me to Dex. “Hey, man,” he shakes Dex’s hand.

“Hey, it’s good to see you.” Dex smiles at them, at ease with seeing them in the middle of Nashville.

I introduce him to Cassidy Rae, although they’ve met briefly in the past.

“What are you guys up to?” Cassidy Rae asks.

“We just had lunch, after we went on a comedy tour this morning. If you guys can ever do it, I totally recommend it.” I chuckle as I remember it.

“Comedy tour?” Jason’s eyebrows rise.

“Yeah. It’s on a yellow school bus, and the guides do stand-up comedy and sing-alongs in between stops. The one we did was a music tour. Went to the Hall of Fame, Ryman Auditorium, Music Row. It was fun.” I look at Dex as I speak a mile a minute.

“Sing-along, huh?” Jason chuckles.

“Shut it and let me look at my niece.” I bend down and look at Ada sitting in the stroller like all is right in the world. It sure is, baby girl.

“Where are you going now?” I ask Jason but Rae answers.

“The zoo!” She fits bumps the air. “Do you wanna come? Pleassssee.” Her hands clasp together in front of her chest, and she gives me that damn puppy dog face she’s mastered.

“You’re having family day,” I explain, not sure if Dex would want to spend the next few hours with my brother and his family.
