Chapter Thirteen

Trace was a little overwhelmed at the support he received after the show. A group of men approached him, all claiming to be current military or veterans. They offered to help him break down his gear and even helped him carry it out to the bed of the old truck.

A group of women, who he assumed were Emma’s friends, crowded around him at the bar when he sat next to her for a drink before closing.

Laura, Emma’s cousin, which he’d met a few times now, even asked him if it was okay if she posted a video on the Rusty Rail’s social media page of him playing.

“You never know,” she said, clicking her phone while she talked. “It could bring in a larger crowd next weekend.” Her blue eyes glanced up from her phone screen. “Or be seen by a talent agent.”

“I’ve already talked to Tessa and Lucas about Trace,” Emma added. “They’re going to be back in town soon and are dying to hear him.”

“I’ll send them this video.” Laura clicked her phone and smiled. “Done.” She tucked her phone in her back pocket.

He reached for his beer and swallowed a soothing sip. He’d never had anyone stick out their neck for him like this before. Well, not regarding his music at least.

“Thanks,” he said, his voice cracking slightly.

Emma nudged him. “How about a dance before they close up shop?” She motioned to the floor.

“I…” He set his beer down. He didn’t want to tell her that he didn’t really know how to dance. Not in front of her friends. Then the music changed to a slower song and he figured he’d chance it. “Sure.” He took her hand and walked slowly to the dance floor.

Pulling her close, he started moving with the song. “I haven’t done this since high school,” he admitted. “I’m going to apologize now for any… mishaps.”

She smiled up at him. “The way you move, I doubt there will be—” She stopped talking as his boot toe landed on top of hers.

“Spoke too soon?” he joked, making her laugh.

“Okay, maybe you could use a few private lessons. For now, we can just sway to the song and make every woman in here jealous.”

“I know that kiss I gave you earlier stopped every guy in here from drooling over you,” he added.

Her eyebrows arched up and a slight frown formed on her lips. “There weren’t…” she started. “No one has ever drooled over me.”

He shook his head. “Emma, every man in here has been drooling since you stepped foot in here. I’m just thankful that they didn’t make a move.” He pulled her closer, enjoying the way her body felt against his.

The dance floor was growing more crowded as the song progressed. He didn’t like the feeling of a crowd surrounding him and started steering them towards the back door.

“Do you mind?” He nodded towards the exit. In reply, she took his hand and stepped outside with him.

Once in the cool night air, he pulled her back into his arms and continued the dance.
