“They ought to put that on a greeting card.” He grinned. “Can’t wait to meet them.”
I laughed. “I’ll remind you of that thirty minutes from now when you see firsthand what I mean.”
I suddenly remembered he was supposed to be in Nashville. At his big gig.
“Oh my God, what about Tootsie’s? That’s tonight.”
“Don’t care.” He pressed a kiss to my mouth.
I pulled back, “What about Road Kill? You can’t let them down.”
“Don’t care.” He kissed me again.
“But—”
His kissed me some more until I couldn’t think of anything else but how good his lips felt and how much I missed him.
“Go ahead,” he said, raising his head. “Say something else silly so I can kiss you some more.”
“I’m glad you’re here.”
He kissed me again and leaned his forehead against mine. “Me, too.”
Epilogue
Music City Tattler
Country superstar Dex Wilder made a surprise appearance at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge last week, appearing with local favorite, Road Kill. Wilder’s girlfriend and former Road Kill lead singer, Sydney Stratton, tells the Tattler that Wilder was happy to fill in at the last minute for talented and popular guitarist Dillon Phillips, who, she says, had a sudden urge to see Graceland.
The band rocked the house for over three hours and this reporter can only speculate that the road trip to Memphis rocked just as much since Phillips reportedly returned home with a new Elvis tattoo—and a new fiancée—on his arm. Inside sources say Phillips will leave the band to spend more time with his family and to open his own music center and educational facility in east Nashville.
Phillips’s bride-to-be, Rebecca Shaw, will be busy with more than planning a wedding in the coming months. Wilder confirmed he will be producing Shaw’s debut album. Miss Shaw is a well-known demo singer, often hired by some of Music City’s most successful songwriters. Wilder says he is thrilled Shaw finally agreed to go out on her own and that he is confident her drive and talent will take her right to the top of the charts.
