April wasn’t sure his plan was going to work. Supposedly, Blake had told Randy that he and April were going out Saturday night, and that he was going to pick her up at the apartment. That was where the misunderstanding would come in. April was to pretend that she believed she was meeting Blake at the house. When she got there, Blake wouldn’t be, but Randy would be.

The two of them would talk, and hopefully it would lead to something more meaningful. Blake would come in a little bit later and take it from there.

As she pulled up to the house, the lights were on. Good. Most likely that meant Randy was home. Quickly, she closed the car door and got out. Halfway to the entrance, she stopped. Amazing music emanated from inside. At first she thought it might be a classical rendition on a CD, but when the music stopped then started again, she thought it might be live.

A million thoughts bombarded her. Could Randy be playing the piano? Her mom had been convinced he was a musical genius, but April couldn’t understand why he’d be working on a ranch instead of performing.

If he were at the piano right now, Randy was a genius who’d lied to everyone. Before she went in, she had to be convinced. Bent over to avoid being seen from the living room window, she dashed across the lawn to hide under the window. Slowly, she lifted up.

She froze. Randy was at the piano, his eyes closed and his head bobbing back and forth to the music. She didn’t recognize the piece, but the emotional rendition was powerful. There only needed to be a percussion section in the background to complete the performance. The drama, the power, and the smoothness of the playing seeped into every pore and electrified her. Her heart seemed to speed up as the beat increased. The crescendo built, and Randy’s movement became more frenetic as if he was doing a self-exorcism. Never had she seen such passion.

When he finished, she failed to move. Her heart thudded against her chest at what she’d heard. Why he hid this talent, she didn’t know, but he’d been exposed now. While she’d never been a big fan of the symphony, Randy’s playing lit up her body.

He stood, and only then did she realize where she was. She crouched low and raced to the front door. After composing herself and plastering on a smile, she rang the bell as if she’d just arrived.

Randy must have debated whether to open the door, because she swore it was a full minute before he answered her ring.

“Blake’s on his way to your house.”

She inhaled to play the acting role of her life. “Really?”

“That’s what he said. You want to come in and call him?”

At least Randy wasn’t totally put off by being near her. In fact, he didn’t seem to be able to take his gaze off her. Was it because she’d take more time
