�Nick, I need that single,� I yelled through the phone.
�What single?�
�You know the one, the love one for �Now or Never�.�
�Oh, sure man.  When do you need it?�
�Now man, please?�
�No problem.  Just let me find it.�
�Thanks.�  I hung up the phone and grabbed the paper.  If I was going to win back the woman I loved, I had to do it right.  And this was perfect.
    Wonderful Lady,
       You, you�re a rare treasure that I found.  And
       for some unknown reason, I wanted to keep
       that.  I know how wrong that was.  I can only
       ask you listen to this song and forgive me.
       Please, come back.
                 Your Number
                 One Fan,
                  Kevin Richardson
I sealed the letter and tapped it on top of the single.  �Deliver as fast as you can,� I told the bell boy.  He nodded and quickly left my sight.

�Terri, I�m taking a break after this tour.  My kids miss me.�
�But you have a due date.�
�And that was supposed to be for my third book.  I thought I was a head here?�
�You are.  But the fans are going to be demanding more.�  I sighed and shook my head.
�Look, I have to go.  Someone is at my door.  Bye.�  I hung up my phone and opened my door.  �Can I help you?�
�Mrs. Richardson?�
�Um, yes?�
�Than this is for you.�  He handed the package to me and quickly left.  I frowned and opened it up.  I stared at it and finally put it in my player.  I heard the opening words and finally read the letter, letting tears flow freel

~*~ Tell me what I gotta be/ Tell me what you wanna do/ �Cause I can�t live my lie the way you want me to/ You know you can�t go on living like we do/ Do I have to cry for you/ Do I have to cry for you ~*~

I sipped my wine and smiled at something AJ said.  I shook my head but laughed.
�She�s here.�
�Look at her.�
�My God, she looks good.�  I hard the three other guys talking behind me and I glanced at them.
�Just what are you gawking at?�  I didn�t wait for their answer for I felt a pair of eyes on me.  I took in the shimmering blue dress, the diamonds sparkling at her throat and ears and the soft curls surrounding her face.  And finally, our eyes locked.

~*~ Do I gotta stand in the cold dark night �til the morning light, yeah/ Do I have to say I won�t let you get away ~*~

I took a deep breath and finally found him.  His black suit doing him no justice.  His handsome features still stood out.  Our eyes locked and I saw the small smile on his face.  Hi handed his glass to someone and made his way over to me.
�You look like..�
�A gemstone?�  I smiled and he simply nodded.
�How did you know?�
�Please, I�m your wife Richardson.  I know everything about you.�  He smiled and leaned in for a kiss but I quickly pulled away.  �The song.  It was wonderful.  It seemed to fit the emotions that we�re having.  Is that why you left?�
�Yes.�
�Such a romantic person.�  My arms found their way around his neck and our lips found one another.  How odd, you tend to miss the simplest joys in life.  And once we pulled away, I gazed into those green eyes that once again, held their sparkle.

~*~ What do I gotta do/ Tell me what you wanna do/ I can�t live my life the way you want me to/ You know I can�t go on living like we do/ Do I have to cry for you/ Do I have to cry for you, yeah/ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on/ You know I can�t go on living like we do/  Do I have to cry for you/ Do I have to cry for you/ ~*~

As we danced, the crowd watched us.  It was our magic moment.  One I�m sure we�ll never forget.
�I�m sorry.  You were meant to shine.�
�I was meant to be loved and to be in love.  The shinning was a bonus.  No matter what Kevin, I loved you.�
�Like how I loved you?�
�Quite possibly, I do think.  I know the song I want to dance to when we get married.�
�Oh, and that is?�
�Do I Have To Cry For You.�
