that
had been the plan all along. Savannah had loved his wild-child rocker side, but
it had always been understood that he would eventually join Jeffrey at work.
    “Alright Momma. I’ve loved talking
to you but I gotta get going. Let’s talk in the next couple days and we can
plan something. I can come to Bristol for the weekend so I can see you and
Grandma.”
    “Alright, dear. We’ll work
something out. I love you.”
    “Love you too, Momma.”
    I try not to worry too much about
what my mother said about the Devlin family as I head into the recording
studio.
    My session in the studio ends up
going extremely well, and I’m pleasantly surprised to bump into Ben and Ryan,
the other band mates of Rust, on my way out.
    “Hey!” I exclaim, hugging each of
them.
    “Looking good, Paige,” Ryan flirts,
and I give him a playful push. Ryan is definitely the more aggressive of the
two guys, and he made it no secret when he tried to pursue me when I first
moved to Nashville.
    “Blake should be here any minute,”
Ben says, smiling at me.
    “Oh, good. I’d like to see him
before I head out. He said you guys had a great weekend working on your music.”
    “Yeah, we finally nailed a sweet
tune,” Ben says, grinning. “Your dad and the label are serious about getting us
all out there again.” He lowers his voice, “Though honestly, I think the real
money-maker is going to be your songs with Blake.”
    “Stop,” I say, feeling
uncomfortable. I definitely don’t want to take away from the band.
    Ben shrugs and Ryan nods in
agreement.
    “It is what it is,” Ben says,
“People love male and female duos. And now that you guys are dating,” he shakes
his head with envy, “That shit will sell .”
    Just then Blake walks in and I
can’t help notice how damn sexy he is. I could never tire of looking at him.
His hair is messy and disheveled, like he just finished running his hands
through it, and he’s got a bit of stubble. I’m sure he hasn’t shaved since we
had dinner at his parents’. He’s wearing black jeans and a white and gray Rust
t-shirt, that’s ripped just enough to make it look good.
    “Hey handsome,” Ryan teases and
Blake flips him off.
    “Hey baby,” Blake says, pulling me
in for a kiss. “This is a nice surprise. How was your session?”
    “It went really well. I’ll get out
of your hair though. I just wanted to say hi before heading out.”
    He kisses me again, and this time I
push him away, embarrassed.
    “Blake,” I admonish, “your friends
are right here.”
    “They don’t mind,” he jokes.
    “No, we don’t,” Ryan pipes up.
    “Whatever,” I laugh. “You guys are
nuts.”
    I give Blake one more kiss and tell
him to call me later. I wave goodbye to Ben and Ryan.
    Just as I get in my car, my phone
goes off. I look at the caller ID and see that it’s Becky from my dad’s office.
    “Hey Becky,” I say, answering the
phone.
    Becky and I have sort of become
friends. I say sort of because I’m not used to having girlfriends. After my
dad’s friends attacked me, I lost touch with all of my Nashville girlfriends,
and I slowly lost all of my Bristol friends, too. It was just too hard to try
and have relationships with anyone.
    I never realized how lonely I had
been until I started trying to make friends in Nashville. Not that I had tried
all that hard. Between starting up a romance with Blake again, rebuilding my
relationship with my father, and trying to kick start my music career, I didn’t
have a whole lot of time for friends. But Becky and I had hit it off the first
time that we met, and it was easy to talk to her.
    “Hey, Paige! I’m glad I caught you!
I was wondering if you had any time to swing by the office this afternoon and
sign some papers. I’m sorry for the short notice and I’m sorry for the rushed
phone call. I’d love to know how you’re doing, too.” She sighs. “Things are
really hectic here.”
    “Is everything alright?”
    “Yes, it’s fine, and
