After the performance, they snuck away from the venue and back to Kate’s house. They lay in bed under silky sheets as a sea breeze whistled them a love song through the open doors.

Nestled into the crook of Kate’s arm, Jordan nearly crushed the air out of Kate’s torso. “This is the best feeling in the world,” she purred.

Kate moaned her agreement and gripped Jordan’s shoulders tighter against her. Jordan’s devotion and passion filled her with contentment she’d never experienced with a lover. How could she have spent so many years with Lydia and not have felt that? What did Jordan have that she’d never found in anyone else?

“You’re so quiet,” Jordan said.

“I was just thinking about that time you sang that Carly Simon song and were smiling at me through most of it. It was so romantic. I fairly swooned.”

Jordan giggled and kissed Kate’s neck. “Song lyrics never had as much meaning to me as they do now.”

“I can’t believe you’ve even heard of her, never mind play her music.”

“My taste in music is wide-ranging, to say the least. I also like old movies, in case you’re wondering. Mildred Pierce and Calamity Jane are two of my absolute faves.”

“I guess it proves the classics never go out of style,” Kate said.

“It also proves that age isn’t always a factor in what we connect with.” Jordan ran her nails over Kate’s arm. “Or who.”

Kate giggled. “I’m glad I don’t have to go up against you in court.”

“Why? Because I make such good arguments?”

“No, because you’re so sexy. I could never keep a jury’s attention with you in the room.”

As Kate jabbed her sides, Jordan yelped and writhed to get free. She continued searching for more ticklish spots until, after a long, torturous span, Jordan finally arrested her hands.

“I loved singing that song to you,” Jordan said as the moon peered into the window and illuminated her sleepy face. “The lyrics are perfect, especially the part about feeling sad for the rest—the women who lost you and the ones who can’t have you now that you’re mine.”

Mine? Kate choked up on the sweetness of her sentiment and the fear it conjured. She wasn’t aware they’d reached the possessive-pronoun stage already. Jordan probably hadn’t meant it that way. It was just a lovely, romantic thing to say.

“You have quite a way with words, too,” Kate said.

“They come from the heart. You can’t be a songwriter without it.”

“It’s a wonderful talent.”

Jordan propped herself up and stared into Kate’s eyes. “I mean every word. You inspire me to express everything you make me feel. That’s how I know you’re the one.”

Kate swallowed hard. “The one?”

“Uh-huh,” Jordan uttered softly then cuddled her tighter.

“Oh, come on.” Kate laughed it off. “It’s a little soon to know that for sure. I mean, look at me—I’m full of faults.”

Jordan giggled. “Relax, baby. I’m not about to get down on one knee or anything. Especially since I’m stark naked at the moment.”

Kate laughed in relief. “I knew that.
