THE soft glow of the city cast long, dancing shadows across anna's apartment. a gentle old-school country tune played softly in the background, a comforting hum to the quiet evening. her fingers traced the rim of a half-empty wine glass, the crystal cool against her skin. the memory of the past weekend's adventures with morgan were still fresh, a vibrant watercolor painting splashed across the canvas of her mind.

she had been enjoying every day like this. she went about her usual studies and activities with a newfound sense of excitement. as morgan had predicted, the media storm had long passed as the paparazzi moved onto new, hotter things. anna kept morgan a secret from others, not wanting to cast light on an already heated situation. she was hesitant, not knowing where she stood with morgan and his fast-paced life. he was already on the road again, preforming in a city hours away.

while he texted her as much as he could, she knew that any sort of relationship would be difficult. she wasn't ready to rush into something so new to her, but morgan respected that. he seemed more than willing to take it slow and go at her pace, as this was new to him as well.

a ping from her phone jolted her out of her reverie. a video from morgan. her heart skipped a beat as she clicked on it. the roar of the crowd washed over her, and then morgan's face filled the screen. he was on stage, the spotlight cutting through the smoky haze, illuminating his familiar features. her breath caught in her throat.

"this next one," morgan began, his voice raw and powerful, "is a little different. it's a story, a memory. a night in nashville with a girl who stole my heart." the crowd erupted in cheers, but anna felt a strange isolation in her living room. she suddenly wished her roommate was home to watch the video with her, not knowing what to expect.

the music started, a gentle guitar strumming that gradually built into a driving rhythm. morgan's voice, rich and soulful, filled the room. every word was a punch to her gut, a confession laid bare for the world to hear.

"you say you need a couple credits 'fore they let you out of college..." the lyrics painted a vivid picture of their night together, the carefree laughter, the stolen glances, the electric connection. a blush crept up her cheeks as she remembered the way he looked at her, a mixture of desire and something deeper.

"if I know me, i'll have you hoppin' up in my passenger seat..." the words hung in the air, heavy with implication. anna closed her eyes, reliving the thrill of the drive, the city lights blurring into a neon canvas as they sped through the night towards his hometown. the wind whipped through her hair, a sense of freedom and exhilaration washing over her.

"then i take you home and you ain't gonna wanna leave..." a shiver ran down her spine. she remembered the way he'd kissed her goodbye, a promise lingering in the air. the memory was bittersweet now, a longing ache mixed with the warmth of nostalgia.

she vividly remembered joking with his mother that she hadn't wanted to leave morgan's sleepy hometown.

the song continued, each verse a chapter in their story. morgan's voice was raw with emotion, his eyes closed as if he were reliving the night himself. anna felt a strange intimacy with him, as if they were sharing a secret world unknown to anyone else.

she remembered the laughter they shared over cheesy country line dances, the way his eyes sparkled when he talked about his music, and the vulnerability he showed when he shared his dreams. he was more than just a country music star; he was a real man with real emotions, and she felt privileged to have a glimpse into his world.

the music reached its crescendo, a powerful chorus that shook her to her core.

"if i know me..." morgan sang, his voice filled with conviction. "if i know me..." he repeated, as if daring the universe to prove him wrong.

the song ended, and the crowd erupted in applause. morgan's face, flushed with emotion, filled the screen again.

"thank you. i hope she likes it." he said, a shy smile playing on his lips.

tears welled up in anna's eyes. morgan had told her that she was special, but hearing him express his feelings so openly, so vulnerably to a crowd of thousands, was overwhelming. she felt seen, heard, and loved in a way she had never experienced before.

the video ended, leaving a profound silence in the room. anna replayed the song in her head, each word a precious memory. she waited a few moments to reply. in that time, she replayed the video twice, paying careful attention to morgan's features.

it was a little too late and she had had a little too much wine to fully comprehend morgan's actions. in the morning, she'd probably have to address him admitting to thousands of fans that he had written a song about a girl from nashville, but she couldn't think about that right now.

as she rewatched the video, she could only focus on his strong jawline and fluffy hair that bounced as he shook his head around.

"i'm speechless." she wrote.

as soon as she replied, morgan read the message. he had been waiting for her to watch the video, carefully trying to gauge her reaction hundreds of miles away.

"glad you liked it," morgan texted back. "i was wanting to sing it for you but i finally finished it on the bus and my team wanted me to get it out there."

"how about you come on back to nashville and sing it for me?" she wrote back, emboldened by his act of passion.

"miss me that much already?" morgan replied instantly.

"i think the wine is making it worse." she wrote. she held up her now empty glass of wine and snapped a selfie of herself holding the glass next to her face. without thinking, she sent the photo to morgan to go along with her text.

"you're beautiful. i wish i was with you." morgan replied after a beat.

anna's heart swelled with pride and affection. she felt a deep connection with morgan, a bond that had been forged in the crucible of that magical night. as she drifted off to sleep, the melody of "if i know me" was the last thing she heard, a comforting lullaby to a heart filled with love and longing.

the morning sun streamed through her window, casting a warm glow on her face. anna woke up with a smile, a sense of peace washing over her. the night before, with morgan's song as her soundtrack, had been a perfect ending to a perfect night. but it was more than that. it was a promise of something more, a future filled with possibilities.
