CHAPTER THIRTEEN
(chapter title – I'll Cover You)

"Hey Rog, if you want me to, I could take the girls and Mark to Maureen's sound check." Christopher offered as they stepped off the subway.

"That'd be great. Thanks Christopher." Roger smiled as the four of them headed to The Performance Space.

"Why'd you send them away, Rog?" Kaitlin asked, slightly confused.

"It's okay – follow me." Roger took her hand in his as they walked down the street.

"Live in my house, I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back,
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover - I'll cover you." Kaitlin sang. Roger blushed slightly.

"Open your door, I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage, to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you." Roger told her, squeezing her hand slightly.

"I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love,
On life - be my life
Just slip me on I'll be your blanket
Wherever - whatever - I'll be your coat." The two of them sang. Roger wrapped an arm around Kaitlin's shoulders as they continued to walk down the street.

"You'll be my king,
And I'll be your castle." Kaitlin told him.

"No you'll be my queen,
And I'll be your moat." Roger corrected her, kissing her cheek.

"I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love,
On life - all my life
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is." The two of them sang. Roger started running, pulling Kaitlin after him. The two of them laughed and eventually slowed down.

"So with a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When you're worn
Out and tired
When your heart has expired." Roger sang, wrapping his arms around Kaitlin's waist.

"If you're cold and you're lonely
You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you." Kaitlin sang in perfect harmony. She snuggled closer to him, taking in his aroma.

"Oh lover I'll cover you, yeahh
Oh lover I'll cover you." They sang to each other. Roger kissed Kaitlin firmly on the lips and gently squeezed her sides. She kissed him back, her hands going through his hair.
