What Only Love Can Do

Chapter 1: Rowen's Problem

Clara sighed in content as she stared out the window at the ocean. Even though they lived in an apartment complex in the city, which was an hour away from the beach, they were so high up that Clara could still walk out on their balcony and view the ocean. Then she heard a soft noise and went back inside the apartment to find the noise. She finally found the source of the noise when she walked into their bedroom and found Rowen laying down on the bed crying into his pillow.

"Oh, Rowen, I wish there was someway I could ease your pain." Clara whispered softly as she watched her husband crying softly. It had been 3 years since they'd gotten married and left their friends behind. They had been so busy with Clara's concert tours that they had no time to visit their friends, and she knew that it was silently tearing Rowen apart. "If only there was a way for you to see your friends again..." Clara mused softly, "wait there just might be a way..."

Later on that morning as Rowen ran about the apartment getting ready for work, Clara sat at the computer writing and chatting with Kayla.

Do you think it'll work? Clara typed.

Maybe, the hard part will be convincing the guys to go to New York. Kayla typed back as she stuffed earplugs in her ears to drown out the sound of Kento and Cye fighting.

Just tell them that they're going to a special training camp. Clara typed into the computer with a semi-wicked grin on her face.

"Do you think what'll work?" Rowen asked with a smile as he leaned in and gave Clara a kiss on the cheek.

"I was asking my writer if the new song sounded okay. Do you always have to spy on me when I'm in here?" she asked in a whiny voice as Rowen turned her computer chair around so that she was facing him.

"There is no new song is there?"

"YES THERE IS!!"

"What's it about?"

"I can't tell you it's a surprise."

"A surprise, huh?"

"Yes and I want you to come to my concert on the 4th of July and listen to 2 new songs. If you're still not happy after you listen to them, then you can go home." Clara said firmly.

"Fine you win...I'll go to your 4th of July concert, but just this once." Rowen said with some agitation in his voice.

"Thank you Rowen, I love you!" Clara said as she stood up, wrapped her arms around Rowen's neck and kissed him on the cheek. "Bye honey, you won't regret this." She called as Rowen rubbed his temple and sighed as he left the apartment. This was going to be a long day.
