Jason's pov

Morgan runs out of the kitchen and she breaks the kiss. I'm shocked. "Can we go to your show?" Morgan cries, pulling on my hand. "I-I-I.... Uh..." I'm completely blank now. She elbows me in the stomach to get me talking again. "Uh of course Morgan." I choke out, still staring at Lisa shocked. "I wanna pick out an outfit mommy!" She gasps, grabbing Lisa's hand. She gives me an apologetic smile as her young active daughter pulls her down the hall. I walk in the kitchen and Megan was still in her high chair. She slammed her hands on the top wanting to get down. So I cleaned her off and let her down. She caught me by surprise when she hugged my legs. My hands are shaking. I slowly bend down and hug the little girl. "I'm gonna take care of you guys." I whisper.

I feel like someone is watching me. I turn around as Jason sets Megan down. Morgan was picking out outfits for both girls. I'm so nervous after that kiss and I don't know why. Go to him. That.... Sounded like... Ben! I swallow my nervousness and walk over to him. He looks super nervous himself. "L-Lisa, I.... What are we doing?" He whispers, glancing at the girls. "I don't know." I shakily say. He hugs me tight. "Nothing has to change between us." He says. "B-But that kiss-" "Just forget it even happened." No! "I don't want to." His eyes go wide, his hands resting on my cheeks. "Y-You don't?" I stare at him. The girls distracted. "Come back to Nashville with me." He says, surprising me. He grabs my hand and we go to another room to talk. "I obviously can't stay in Arkansas." He says. "What about the girls? How would they feel?" "Well honey, I know they like me-" "No not us being together! Leaving Arkansas! Their home! Their daddy!" I screech breaking down crying. He holds me tight. "What do you wanna do Lisa?" I'm so nervous. "I don't... Know." I whisper, shakily. He sits on my bed, holding me in his lap. Ben wants me to be with him. I can feel it. I look up at him, a concerned look in his eyes. "Lis-" "Jason, I wanna go with you." I say, quickly, standing up. He stares at me wide eyed. "You do?" I nod, determined. If I go back now, I'll never be able to do this. "I wanna do this." I say, trying to keep my voice level. "Are you sure? I mean the girls... Would they be able to adjust?" "I'm sure. I mean like you said the girls already like you." He scratches his head, looking nervous again. "Do you..... Like me?"

"Yes." I stare up at her. "You're comin' to Nashville with me?" "I want to." I smile and stand up, hugging her tight. Morgan suddenly runs in the room, making my eyes go wide in surprise. "I'm ready!" She says. Lisa laughs. "She's really excited for the concert I see." I say, smiling.

*later*

We just got home from the concert, the girls fast asleep in the back. I smile. I could get used to this. We get the girls laid down in their beds. "Jason, I'm really glad we met." "Me too, sweetheart." She grabs my hand. "When are we going to Nashville?" "We could leave tomorrow if you want?" "I can't wait." What's going on? "I don't want you sleeping on that old couch.... Plus.... It... It gets lonely." "Don't you worry sweetheart, I understand." She smiles. "Thanks. I'm so embarrassed now." I hold her hand. "No need to be embarrassed."

Lisa's pov

I lay my head on his chest. I haven't felt this safe and warm since Ben died. He's fast asleep. I shakily sit up. "Thanks for saving me cowboy." I whisper, smiling. I sneak a kiss then lay back down, gladly.
