Megan Moroney as Megan (not necessarily Megan Moroney, just her bestfriend)

The next day, Alex dressed in her pantsuit and left for her office, ready for a busy day ahead. She needed to work on Parker McCollum's tour schedule and contact everyone involved, ensuring everything was perfectly aligned.

Once she arrived at her office, she immediately got to work. Her desk was covered in papers, schedules, and her laptop displayed multiple tabs open with emails and spreadsheets. Alex focused on coordinating dates, venues, and logistics for Parker's upcoming tour, contacting venue managers, booking agents, and other essential personnel.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for her lunch break. Alex had plans to meet Bailey, her boyfriend, who had been understanding and supportive ever since she passed him over to a different manager to avoid any conflict of interest.

She walked to the nearby café where they usually met. As she entered, she spotted Bailey sitting at their usual table, already with two coffees and a small bouquet of flowers on the table. He stood up and smiled warmly when he saw her.

"Hey there, beautiful." Bailey greeted, handing her the flowers as she sat down.

"Hey, thank you." Alex replied, her mood instantly lifted. "How's your day going?"

"Busy, but nothing compared to what you're handling," Bailey said, gesturing to her laptop bag. "How's Parker's tour shaping up?"

"It's a lot of work, but it's coming together," Alex said, taking a sip of her coffee. "I just need to finalize a few more details and make sure everyone involved is on the same page."

Bailey nodded, understanding the complexities of tour management. "You're amazing at what you do, Alex. Parker's lucky to have you on his team."

"Thanks," Alex said, smiling. "So, what about you? Any exciting news?"

Bailey shrugged. "Just the usual grind. But I've been working on some new songs, and I think they're pretty good. Maybe you could give them a listen sometime?"

"Of course, I'd love to," Alex replied, genuinely interested. "I'm sure they're great."

The two continued to talk and enjoy their lunch, discussing everything from work to their plans for the weekend. Alex felt relaxed and happy in Bailey's company, grateful for his understanding and support.

They finished their lunch, and Alex felt a renewed sense of determination. She knew she had a lot to handle with Parker's tour, but she was confident in her ability to manage it all. And with Bailey by her side, she felt ready to face whatever challenges came her way.

After lunch, Alex returned to her office, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of her day. She made one last important call regarding Parker McCollum's tour, confirming some final details with a venue manager to ensure everything was set for the upcoming shows.

Once that call was done, Alex shifted her focus to her next client, Lainey Wilson. Lainey, an up-and-coming country music artist, was eager to start touring and build her fanbase. Alex had already been in discussions with Lainey's team about potential tour dates and venues, but now it was time to solidify those plans.

As she worked through the logistics, Alex also considered the promotional aspects of the tour. They would need to plan press releases, social media campaigns, and other marketing strategies to generate buzz and sell tickets. Alex made notes to follow up with the marketing team later in the day to discuss these strategies in detail.

After several hours of intense planning and coordination, Alex finally had a tentative tour schedule mapped out for Lainey Wilson. She sent the proposed dates and venues to Lainey's team for review and awaited their feedback.

Alex went to the main office to tell them she was leaving for the day, she looked at the time and it was 10:30 pm. She got into her car and turned on the radio. 7 summers started playing, Alex never heard it before, she tried not to listen to Morgan on her own, she didn't want to bring back that pain.

The song made her think of their late night drives, they'd sneak out of their houses and drive around for hours. They'd find houses and point them out as their future home together.

Alex finally made it home, exhausted from the demanding day at work. The moment her head sank into the softness of her pillow, weariness cascaded over her, pulling her swiftly into the embrace of sleep. Her thoughts, once filled with the hustle of the day, now quieted as dreams softly beckoned, offering respite from the challenges that awaited tomorrow.

The warm summer air enveloped them as Morgan's truck cruised down the empty country roads. The radio played softly in the background, filling the comfortable silence between them. Alex leaned back against the seat, her fingers tapping lightly to the rhythm of the music.

"Where are we going tonight?" Alex asked, breaking the quiet with a smile.

Morgan glanced at her, his eyes sparkling under the moonlight streaming through the open windows. "Let's find a spot." He said, turning the wheel onto a dirt road leading away from town.

They drove past fields bathed in silver moonlight, occasionally passing by a lone farmhouse with its lights dimmed for the night. Morgan slowed the truck to a stop near an old oak tree overlooking a vast meadow dotted with fireflies.

"This place is perfect." Alex said, stepping out onto the grass. Morgan followed suit, grabbing a blanket from the back of the truck. They spread it out under the oak tree, lying down side by side, gazing up at the star-studded sky.

They talked about everything and nothing-dreams, fears, and plans for the future. Laughter echoed through the quiet night as they shared stories and secrets. Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in each other's company, far away from the pressures of school and expectations.

Eventually, their conversation dwindled into comfortable silence. Morgan reached over, intertwining his fingers with Alex's. She turned to him, their eyes meeting in the soft glow of the moon. Without a word, Morgan leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips.

Alex's heart raced as she melted into the kiss, savoring the warmth of his touch and the sweetness of the moment. They stayed like that for what felt like an eternity, wrapped up in each other under the stars, their late-night drives weaving memories that would last a lifetime.
