Luke placed his hand on the back of the car seat and twirled a piece of her hair around his finger. “I don’t want anybody else to control my narrative any more than you do. And this felt like the kind of news I want to tell the world myself. Not a newspaper, or a press release, or even you. It won’t be a regular thing, though.”

Luke’s phone began to buzz, the messages appearing on the screen.

“Do you need to check those?”

Luke shook his head. “Nope.”

“What if it’s important?”

“More important than having an honest conversation with you and Cletus in the back of this car?”

“When you put it like that ... But I’m worried. What if your fans don’t like the news? What will that do—”

“You worry too much.” Luke lifted her hand and kissed the back of it. “Just enjoy tonight, flower. It’s the only moment that matters.”
