There’s no going back Mom

There’s no going back.

Will you still love me?

Will I love myself?

My heart is full

My heart is hers.

Wide open spaces

A handful of aces

I’m here for you, love

I’m all-in for you.

Lay it on the line

Because I’m out of time

Will you be mine?

I’m asking you…

He stopped strumming and held her gaze. “Will you be mine?”

In the silence that followed his last note, Della blurted, “God, yes.”

The crowd went nuts, clapping wildly and stomping their feet. Bex hid a shy smile. “Hang on. I’m not done.”

The audience quieted down, Bex started playing the next song.

At first, she was confused. The lyrics were so different than what he normally wrote, but she supposed he had a new style now.

No, wait…“I wrote that.” But no one heard her over the music. She tapped Micky on the shoulder and mouthed, That’s my poem.

Micky leaned over. “Guess we know who found your notebook.”

When he finished the song, he set his guitar down and walked to the edge of the stage. “Della.” His eyes blazed with love.

She scraped back her chair, raced around the table to meet him.

Crouching, he reached for her hands and brought them to his mouth. “I love you.”

“I love you, too. I was an idiot, and I’m sorry. We’re all works in progress, and I’m sorry I held you to a higher standard than I do for myself.”

“So, what do you say? Are we going to make music together for the rest of our lives?”

“I’m here for you, Bexley Sinclair. I’m all-in for you.”
