Heartbeat Song

Chase and I found our way back to each other. I just didn't expect the harmony to be this hard to hold onto.

He's a cowboy who belongs to the land. I'm a woman who belongs to the stage. We shouldn't work. And yet here we are.

But loving Chase means asking him to live in a world that doesn't fit him — a city too loud, too restless, too far from everything he's rooted in. And loving me means trusting someone who's been keeping secrets for so long they've started to sound like the truth, even to me.

Now my past has come back to collect, and it's dragging every secret I ever buried into the spotlight. I buried them deep. Not deep enough.

Chase deserves a song with no hidden notes. But every time I open my mouth to tell him, the bridge collapses.

I've rewritten myself before. Turned heartbreak into harmony, wreckage into something worth recording. But this time, the music won't wait.

Some songs demand to be heard — even the ones you swore you'd never sing.
