ALRIGHT. This couple is my legit otp and this song… it just is so powerful. This needed to be done.

I don't own Nashville.

There's no music, no confetti. Crowds don't cheer and bells don't ring.

"Gunnar." He heard a voice speak softly.

"Yeah? Sorry, Scarlett." She smiled.

"My flight's going to board soon… I have to go."

But you'll know it, I can guarantee- when the right one comes along.

"Right. So… this is goodbye?" he asked, an aching pain in his chest.

"I guess so. Thanks for giving me a ride here." She said with a small smile, wrapping her arms around him. "I love you." She whispered in his ear. Then, she turned away. "Take care of Zoey." Then, she was gone.

Every single broken heart will lead you to the truth.

He took off running.

"Scarlett!" He caught up to her, catching her hand. She turned around and he smashed his lips on hers.

In a cold world, it's a warm place.

"Don't get on that plane. Don't leave me." Gunnar begged.

"I can't… Zoey…" She whispered.

"She's amazing… but it's not her."

Where you know you're supposed to be.

"Come back with me. Let me talk to Zoey." He said, holding out his hand. She hesitated, grabbed the handle of her suitcase and took his hand with her free hand. He smiled and took her suitcase from her.

A million moments full of sweet release.

When they reached Gunnar's home, Zoey was gone. There was a note on the counter.

Gunnar,

I'm sorry I had to leave like this. I know that this isn't working out. I know that you're meant to be with her and not me, it's been that way since the beginning. I'm going on tour with Juliette… get on a plane and go get Scarlett. I'm sorry.

Love,

Zoey.

He looked at Scarlett.

All that changes is only everything.

"She knew…. She knew and she left without saying goodbye." Scarlett hugged him.

"I'm sorry." Gunnar shook his head and went into his room, opening the top drawer in his nightstand. He took out a small velvet box.

"This was yours. This IS yours. I kept it because… well because when you know it… you can't ignore it. I know we need to rebuild our relationship and it's going to take some time but I'm ready when you're ready. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"I shouldn't have said no in the first place. I've been waiting for you. I'm ready." She said, blinking a stray tear. He slipped the ring on her finger and then kissed her, wiping the tear away with his thumb.

It's so easy, there's nothing to it.

When the right one comes along.
