Chapter Four

The next day, both Mother Nature and a little Good-Luck Fairy must have been on their side because—with the exception of one detour—the roads between their motel and downtown Colorado Springs were passable.

Trevor slid behind the wheel of her car and said, “Babe, let’s hightail it there.”

She rubbed her eyes and nodded, offering to take over driving in an hour, or at least sometime after the tiny bit of caffeine she’d had kicked in. She’d hardly slept after she left Trevor’s room last night. For hours, she kept feeling his fingers on her body, playing her like an expert guitarist would play his instrument. And she was still so turned on by the memory...

Not that she was planning to confess this to him—a man who looked annoyingly well-rested on only five and a half hours of sleep.

Trevor took a long sideways glance at her and laughed. “You look like you need more than one cup of java from that hotel’s mini coffee maker. We can pick up something bigger and stronger at our first rest stop. And something more substantial to eat than cookies, too. I can drive the whole way to Colorado Springs, by the way, so you can put your seat back and relax.”

“Oh, you don’t have to—”

“Yeah, I do. I wanna get there on time and may not entirely follow the posted speed limit.” He grinned at her. “So if there’s a ticket violation in our near future, that’ll be on me.”

And so he drove, and all went as planned. For the first time in a long time, Tina couldn’t help but feel a comforting sense of rightness with where she was and what she was doing. Perhaps her car was headed in the wrong cardinal direction, given her plans to go to Nashville and all, but that would be easy to rectify once Trevor was finished with his interviews.

It was the being by his side part. The laughing with him. The talking with him. And, oh, boy, the touching and making out with him. All of these things just felt so natural.

And even though she knew this fling of theirs wouldn’t last the week, something about Trev helped her restore a little of her faith in men. If she could feel this content in his presence, there might yet be hope for her dented and cynical heart.

They made it through the Colorado Springs city limits with only about twenty minutes to spare before Trevor’s noon meeting, so he dropped her off at a nearby coffee shop and promised he’d text her with updates on his schedule.

“As soon as I have even a one-hour break where I can slip away, I’ll pick you up and we can go to the hotel. I made a reservation downtown, but check-in isn’t until three p.m., so we’ve got a few hours to kill before we can be sure to get in.”

“No problem. I’ve got everything I need here.” She pointed to her notebook for song lyrics, waved her wallet
