Lucas couldn’t remember being more nervous in his life. He’d never played in front of a crowd, and the place was even more crowded tonight than it had been two weeks ago. Apparently, word had gotten out that he and Tessa were doing a duet tonight.

Tessa had warned him that the entire town was gossiping about them being an item. Hell, he didn’t care at this point if everyone knew it. After the other night, he was pretty determined to enjoy the relationship ride as long as he could.

Music had opened so much for him. He no longer struggled with nightmares of the accident. Some of the guilt and anger had receded as well.

“Are you nervous?” Tessa asked. She was standing next to him in a soft white lace dress with pink cowgirl boots. He wanted to reach out and wrap his arms around her and take her to the dance floor, but the butterflies in his stomach had glued his feet to the floor.

“Hey.” Her soft voice was right next to his ear. He could feel her breath on his skin. Then she was pushing herself up against him as her arms wrapped around his waist. “Focus on me.” Her eyes locked with his. “There’s only me.”

His vision narrowed and soon she was the only person in the crowded room. He could see every shade of brown in her eyes. The fact that there was a streak of gray in each iris, caused him some pleasure. Then he noticed how the lights played over the caramel highlights in her hair. The way her lips puckered and the slight dip in her chin. His fingers reached out and ran over the sexy spot.

“Now, when you’re up there, focus on me. Only me,” she purred, and he couldn’t stop himself from nodding in agreement.

Before he knew it, she was handing him the guitar and pushing him towards the stage. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the bright lights hitting him, but soon after, he found her in the crowd and smiled. Taking a deep breath, he began to play.

As soon as the first words were out of his mouth, the entire room grew quiet and, even though he knew every eye was on him, his eyes were locked with the only person in the room that mattered to him.

When the song ended, he blinked and chanced a glance around the room, only to realize that every woman’s eyes were wet with tears and every man was holding his woman close. There was no polite clapping. Instead, the room exploded with cheers the moment the last chord finished.

His smile was quick and before he knew it, Tessa was standing next to him with her guitar. Her face said everything. Then she was strumming with him and they were singing the duet about how her parents would dance to their own music.

People clapped as they spun around the floor. He was thankful he’d brought a drum track along since everyone was clapping and stomping in time with the beat.
