inside.
    “ And is the music loud enough? ”
    “ Yes, it’s fine. ”
    “ Is this you? It sounds like the same song you were singing outside. ”
    Sara laughed. “ I wished. It’s the same song, but this is by the original. It’s called ‘My Immortal’ by ‘Evanescence. ’
    “ Honestly, Sara, I could have sworn it was you. Do you have any of yours on here? ”
    “ Yeah, one. Something I was working on earlier today. ”
    “ I want us to try that Evanescence song when we get back to the house. That’s if it’s not too late when we get back. ”
    Sara smiled. “ Ok. I love singing with you. ”
    “ Oh no. I’m just going to play this time, and I might help you out with the chorus, like I did with ‘The Rose’, but I want you to do this one on your own. ”
    “ Why ?”
    “ As sad as the song is, it’s still beautiful, and it suits your voice. I think it would sound better as a solo. ”
    Sara was skeptical. “ All right…. ”
    “ Well, hang on tight. I would never forgive myself if you got hurt. You don’t act as if you’ve done this before. ”
    Sara smiled. “ That’s because I haven’t. Jeff, my former - well, anyway. He offered me a ride on his bike, and I wouldn’t take it. ”
    Jared seemed surprised. “ Really? Why wouldn’t you go riding with him? ”
    Sara squeezed her arms around him. “ Because I didn’t trust him. ”
    Jared softly laughed, revved the engine, and pulled back on the highway. “ And you trust me? ”
    Sara sighed contentedly, not a doubt in her reply. “ Completely…. ”
    Jared softly laughed again. “ Good .” The song ended, and the next one started. He chuckled. “ It looks like somebody else likes to listen to different music than what they sing. ”
    “ Excuse me? ”
    “ You’re like me. I write, play, and sing country and western, but I like to listen to all kinds of music. ”
    Sara laughed. “ The music I listen to is usually dependent on what kind of mood I’m in. ”
    “ So what kind of mood are you in right now Sara? ”
    “ Happy, safe, peaceful and a little dangerous, I guess you could say.” ‘ Super Massive Black Hole’ by ‘Muse’ had started playing. “This song always makes me feel a little daring and dangerous. I like to listen to it, when I’m driving. I play it over and over. I think they used it on ‘Twilight’. I still haven’t seen the movie yet, and I understand the second of the series is coming out soon. ”
    Wow! Sara was talking to Jared, and she wasn’t tripping over her tongue. Sara usually tripped over her tongue when she talked to someone she was interested in. She’d stopped feeling nervous around Jared. She wondered why.
    “ I can help you there. I have the DVD and the books, all of them. I saw the movie first, and then I bought the book set. I read all four volumes in less than a week. I just couldn’t put them down. I guess they sort of reminded me of us. We’ll go see the second movie - and all the others, together…. ”
    Sara chuckled. “ How, you didn’t know me then, and besides, you’re not a vampire – are you? ”
    Jared snorted. “ No - no vampire here… ” he abruptly changed the subject. “ So do you want to see the other movies with me? ”
    “ Yes, I would. ”
    “ It’s a date then, but don’t think I’m going to stay away from you until then. ”
    “ I wouldn’t like that. ”
    “ Don’t worry, I’m not! You’ll be lucky if I let you out of my sight. So do you enjoy living here in Shreveport? ”
    Sara smiled at his evasiveness. “ I do now….”
    Jared took his left hand off the handle bar, and squeezed her arm that was wrapped around his waist, before putting it back on the handle bar. “ Good, ” he smiled.
    The next song started playing. “ This one’s mine. The one I did this morning .”
    “ Really.… ” He got quiet, listening to the music. In fact, Jared didn’t say anything else until it was finished. “Wow!” he whispered. “ Did Lucy work
