Chapter Twelve

Buck walked into the studio, juggling her hot coffee between sips. It had been a long night, and though she was tired, she knew that time recording was just what she needed. Seeing Olive last night had devastated her and left her with many unanswered questions. Olive was not the same woman that she once knew, and at this point, she realized that there was no way to turn back time to the way that things were before the other woman had left. Olive had changed, and the part of her heart that had once bonded with the other woman was broken.

Ziggy’s words from the night before replayed in her head. People made their own choices. But why would Olive choose to do things that would hurt her and possibly ruin her life? That was a question that Buck didn’t get. Olive had never been interested in drugs or heavy partying. For the most part, she was somewhat conservative. So, this new behavior of hers confused Buck.

Last night, the other woman had seemed like a completely different person. It was devastating to see this change, and it left Buck an emotional wreck. Buck still loved the other woman or at least who she used to be, and now that Olive had changed, she felt as if the Olive that she knew was gone forever.

“Are you ready for this?” Ziggy asked, approaching her as she entered the sound booth with the others.

“I am,” Buck said, taking her place at the mic.

“I want you and Ziggy to sing together today,” Dave called into the booth. “We’re going to start with Home at Heart .”

“Sounds good,” Buck replied without any argument.

“Good,” Dave smiled, adjusting a couple of knobs on the sound board. “Everybody ready?” he called after Spike and Ziggy had tuned their guitars.

“All set,” a chorus of voices exclaimed, and the room was immediately filled with music.

Buck closed her eyes and sang the lyrics of the song, releasing all her emotions in the process. She heard Ziggy’s voice intermingle with hers, and though the two styles of singing were very different, by the end of the songs, the two sang in perfect harmony. It was an intimate experience as it felt like they were communicating their thoughts and feelings through song. Buck heard the ending notes, and the music stopped. She opened her eyes and saw Ziggy standing there staring at her.

“You are very passionate,” the other woman said, brushing a stray red hair from her shoulder.

Buck looked into the other woman’s sultry green eyes and instantly looked away. She blushed, knowing that Ziggy could understand the emotions that she put into the music. Buck felt vulnerable at that moment and called for a break, heading out of the sound booth for a bottled water.

“So, you two seem to be getting along,” Jemma said, signaling over to Ziggy who was in deep conversation with Dave. “Yeah, we’re good,” Buck said. “I figured it would be easier to get along if we were going to work together.
