I couldn't help but smile. "You're moving to Texas?"
"Yes. I've decided I like it better than L.A."
"But you're not giving up your singing career?"
She laughed. "No, of course not, or acting either, assuming I have an acting career after this movie comes out, but I don't have to live in L.A. for that. I mean, I'm in North Carolina now, and I was here a few months ago, and Houston is closer than Los Angeles."
"So, you're satisfied with my services? May I count on you for a reference?"
"Absolutely! In fact, I've been singing your praises to some of the cast of the movie. A couple of the people seem interested and may reach out to you."
"Thank you for that." My business was at least ninety percent referral.
"My pleasure. No matter what happens with Chuck and me, I'll be forever thankful for what you did for me. You, well, you and Chuck, opened my eyes to so much."
"You're welcome, Ms. Reyes."
"Call me Tara, please."
"Very well, Tara."
I heard a voice in the background. "I have to go. They want me. Anything else I can help you with before I go?"
"No, all I wanted to know was if you were satisfied with my services."
"Completely, totally, unreservedly satisfied. If I can help you in any way, you only need to call."
"At some point in the future, could I get a couple of tickets to one of your concerts?"
She laughed. "Absolutely! You tell me when and where, and I'll make sure you get backstage passes."
"Thank you. I may take you up on that," I said.
I sometimes collected favors from clients that I could then use with other clients, like tickets to one of Tara's concerts.
"You do that. I have to go. Want me to call you back when I'm free?"
Tara was a completely changed woman. "No, Tara. You've answered all my questions. Thank you."
"No," she said, her voice warm. "Thank you."
I hung up the phone and leaned back in my chair, a smile ghosting across my lips. Another satisfied client. I was well compensated for my services, but it truly was joy I heard in my client's voices that made my job so rewarding.

Anonymousover 1 year agoNot a good story. It says that caricaturizing Texans is wrong (ok), however, the Californian is an even bigger caricature and nothing is said.
Also, the Texan is pro-gun, nothing wrong in that. The Californian is against guns, but any halfbrained reason is enough to make her change her mind: "If trained professionals (as bodyguards) can have guns, anybody and their cousins must have the right to carry guns. It stands (not) to reason!"
On the whole, the story is well written, but the characters look like the writter political beliefs incarnated. Other stories in the series are way better.
Doctimealmost 4 years agoJust reacting to the to the POC comment. This was obviously written before the George Floyd debacle. I have to confess I read the story as a romance between a man and and a woman. Not a white man and a black woman. I do hope that the world has tilted a little towards anti bigotry in the past ten days, but I read your stories for the romance. It’s up to our legislators to change the world. And it’s up to us to vote the bigots out. Keep writing. I just added you to my favorites list. 5*****’s.
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoEven though it's a fictional story, the topic of racism and guns could have been dealt with in a better way. Rather than showing that Tara over reacted or her coming around to Charles's thought process, maybe you could have made Charles bit more understanding to her obvious reaction. Only a POC can understand how deeply a racist remark hurts. Not reacting to it also enables it.
