Meant to Marry Me: Nashville Country Dreams Part 1

The girls were sitting on the other side of the room, laughing and telling stories, though every time he looked at Bree, she seemed tuned out, like she had something on her mind.

Jason was telling stories, too. "So anyway, she decides to bring her guitar, right, as if she's going to serenade the poor homeless dudes downtown. And I don't want to be there anyway. I've got more to do with my Saturdays than work a damn soup kitchen, but we have to because it's a class assignment. And then, she's shocked when some dumbass tries to steal her freaking guitar.

He made his way into the kitchen to grab a beer but thought he might take a few minutes outside to catch his breath. After an hour or so of that Jason guy, he had had enough and was willing to do just about anything to stay away from him. Seriously, whatever Bree saw in him, she
