The weekend ended too soon and they headed
back to Chicago. Tom was on cloud nine he had his
worlds together now full steam ahead. He felt more
secure knowing he had Laura committed to him now
before the music world took over his life. He needed
to know she felt as strongly as he did. Relationships
in the music business never worked. He had tried a
couple of times with girls he really thought were it...
well, they weren't like Laura. They failed miserably.
That night of the Jazz festival when he decided to
date Shelley it was only because she seemed to show
him another side, a softer side, and he was really drunk.
He didn't know why he said yes but once he did they
became inseparable. She was at every practice, every

their first solo release and they were pushing it out to the
music stations. He had an anxious sigh as he thought
about Shelley and now Lindsey attending gigs and practice,
touring with them...and her crush. He hoped and prayed
things continue to go well they would not affect his
relationship. He liked the look of the ring on Laura's finger.

and said, "Of course." Laura asked, "Why ask me first and
introduce me later?" Tom said, "You may have said no. I
have never brought anyone home before." They both
laughed. What an ego this guy had. He didn't want his
family to see him get rejected. On the way back to Chicago
they stopped in the little suburb town of Homestead.
Population 5363 showed a Corn Cob dancing. Laura
thought that was hilarious her cool Tom was really from
redneckville. He knowing exactly what she was thinking
after viewing the population sign said, "I will have you know
I was always cool...really stuck out around here." Laura
laughed and shook her head. They pulled up on a little
