Ethan took another glance at the miniature grandfather clock that hung on the wall above his grandmother’s ancient television. She didn’t have cable, but he’d managed to rustle up some of his grandfathers old Western VHS tapes. The picture was a bit bouncy, and every now and then the sound would fade in and out, but it was better than nothing.

Alaina had left early for work that morning. Ethan hadn’t even caught a glimpse of her in the hallway. Ben was still upstairs sleeping. Ted had gone into town to run some errands for Granny. It was just Ethan and Granny Mae, and making the understatement of the century, he was bored. It also didn’t help any that every time he looked at the clock, a span of only a few minutes had passed. Ethan didn’t know why he was so antsy. It wasn’t like he had bigger and better things he could be doing—although everyone involved with his tour was probably losing their minds at the moment wondering when he would be returning . . .

In fact, that exact question had been plaguing Ethan’s mind, as well. He knew he couldn’t stay at his grandmother’s forever. Obviously, he had a career he had to get back to. He had fans that paid good money to get tickets to his show and he’d already had to postpone two different venues since he’d been there. It was more of an issue of making the call. Number one: he was going to have to face his mom when he called, and he knew he owed her a huge apology. Would he have felt that way a few days ago? Not a chance. But a few things had changed since then. Number two: he was going to have to leave Alaina. She had finally opened up to him. Finally busted down the wall that he normally felt mortared between them. He just wasn't quite ready to go back, yet.

He’d checked his calendar and he only had one more concert scheduled in the next couple of weeks. He knew that one would be an easy reschedule because it was a fairly small venue somewhere up in Washington. He figured that if he could only hold out till then, it would give him and Alaina more time to figure out how they were going to make this complicated mess work. And to top all of that off, Ethan wasn’t quite ready to leave Ben yet either. It seemed that Ben had gotten worse in the few short day’s Ethan had been there. What was going to happen when he had to leave for a couple of months at a time? Ethan shook those thoughts from his mind. They were too much to think about.

He needed something to occupy his time today. Something to take his mind off of Ben and something to calm his racing heart from the memory of Alaina’s kiss. He couldn’t believe he wasn’t exhausted because trying to go to sleep after she’d bid him goodnight had been next to impossible.
