always been.
    Jason started another song and Kate moved her legs around to the other side to work the kinks out and then settled back again and took another sip from the glass. She was thirsty. She hadn’t drunk anything with dinner because she hadn’t wanted to draw attention to herself by asking the server for a glass of water.
    By the time it was fully dark, Kate was feeling incredibly mellow and relaxed and oh so sleepy. Cody and Ryanna still weren’t back and Kate finished Jason’s drink and then got up to try and wake up some. She went back to the car and brought more blankets to spread out on the nearby grass so they could watch the stars and then folded another one into a pillow. Feeling a bit guilty for drinking all of his champagne, she refilled the flute and set it back beside him.
    Lying on her tummy on the blanket next to Jason, she yawned and looked back up at him in the firelight. It was incredibly nice here. She wished it could be like this all the time. She pulled the folded blanket under her chin and reached for the glass she’d set aside. She was a fool to worry like she’d been. Jason was her best friend and he always would be and she loved him dearly.
    Jason let the fire die down so it would be darker to see the stars and then he put his guitar aside, refilled the pretty champagne glass, sipped from it, handed it back to her and then sprawled down beside her. Turning on his back, he moved closer to her and put his head on her folded pillow and looked up at the stars above them. He smelled incredibly nice when he was this close. She drained the glass and then set it aside and leaned to kiss him. He tasted warm and slightly fruity just now.
    A moment later, she pulled away and rested her forehead on the blanket she was lying on. Stars were definitely not what she was focused on right this second, and a little nap actually sounded more inviting than watching the meteor shower, but she didn’t want to admit that to Jason. Not on their first night with him back from Nashville.
    Jason reached and refilled the glass again and as he took a sip, she watched the muscles of his throat move, marveling that such an incredibly attractive man loved her when he could have any girl he really wanted, especially now that the band had made a name for itself. He was watching her as he swallowed and he pulled the glass away, slowly licked his lips and offered it back to her, all without looking away. In the moonlight his green eyes looked like a deep pools of liquid as he whispered, “Falcons mate for life, Kate. I love you.”
    When he told her that, it made something low in her tummy do somersaults, and she blinked, thoroughly enjoying the way being adored by him made her feel. She finished the champagne and then turned over onto her back and snuggled over to him. It was time to concentrate on the stars or she was going to forget them and just kiss Jason.
    For several minutes they looked up into the deep blue velvet heaven with its powdered sugar dusting of Milky Way and there were indeed a spectacular number of shooting stars that crossed the sky in vivid, short-lived flashes of white light. The night breeze felt good on her heated skin.
    Jason leaned up on an elbow to look at her. He didn’t say anything, just looked and she wondered for a second if you could drown in someone’s eyes. His felt like eternity just now and her worries of late were as if they’d never been. She’d been silly to worry anyway. After all, Jason was her rock. He always used good judgment. He’d never let her down and she always knew it was safe to lean on him. She really wanted to kiss him again.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

 
     
     
    Chapter 3
    Her phone vibrating against her side woke her from a sound sleep. Crimonies, her head hurt so badly it made her want to swear. And she was not a swearing kind of a girl. She tried to open her eyes but they felt like they had sand in them and she closed them again to feel for her phone
