Reba couldn't think of a time when she had ever been happier in any point in her life. After their intense lovemaking, the pair had retired to their rooms so as not to arouse suspicion from the band, who still did not know they were a couple.

In fact I'm wondering if he's free tonight to go out" "Oh, I'm quite sure he is, Narvel added. "He'd rather be with you than almost anywhere else""
