sign.
    “You said costar…. As in?” She gestures with her hand for someone to fill in the blanks.
    “Sweet cheeks. Dexter and me. We are actors. We are vampires on the show By the Light of the Moon. So that means you are dating a hot shot actor and you can’t even remember. I gotta tell ya though. I am kind of jealous. This charming guy gets to make you fall in love with him all over again. It was funny as hell watching him take the plunge of love the first time. This is going to be epic.” I just roll my eyes at Rob.
    He is being typical Rob but he made my girl laugh so I am going to let it slide for now. I nod my head indicating he needs to make his exit and I will be right out.
    I walk over to Courtney and place a kiss on her forehead.
    “Sorry you had to hear all that. He can be a bonehead at times.”
    “It’s okay Dexter. I am still trying to take in the part about you being an actor. I think that is the show Lillian has been trying to get me to watch.” I start to chuckle. If she only knew.
    “Don’t tell me? I have seen the show haven’t I?” She drops her head in her hand and shakes it in embarrassment.
    “Yeah… You have seen the show sweetheart. Why don’t you try and get some rest. I am going to head out and see what Rob wanted. I will be back in just a little bit.” I give her a kiss on her knuckles. I walk over to the door and turn and give her a gentle smile.
    “Sweet dreams baby.” I say and walk out the door.
    When the door to Courtney’s room firmly closes I see Rob standing there in the hall and I gesture for him to go ahead with what he wanted to tell me.
    “So I got a call from the producer. They want us back to film the remainder of the season as soon as we can possibly get there. They have done everything they can do without us there. Only thing left are the scenes with you and me.” I had a feeling this was going to be coming up soon. That I would have to leave my girl and head back to Alabama, but this couldn’t be any more poorly timed if they tried.
    “I can’t leave Courtney right now man. I just can’t. She just got out of a coma for Christ sake. I am not going. She needs me here. I will quit if I have to but I am not leaving her side.”
    “Dexter, you think I don’t know all that man? You think I want to leave Lillian right now? She just had a baby and has no husband or father to that child. I want to be here as long as I can. That’s why I think we should go home and film the scenes, get the shit done on the first try and fly back out on the next flight back to North Carolina. We can’t let our fans down man.” He does have a point. I don’t want to let all my fans down but I don’t want to let Courtney down either. She needs me here.
    “You don’t understand man. I. Can. Not. Leave. Her.” I punctuate each word trying to send my point home. “I have to stay and make sure she is okay. She is the love of my life and she was just in an accident. She doesn’t even remember who I am for Christ sake.” I can feel my face getting hot with anger. How does he expect me to just leave?
    “That is kind of the point man. She doesn’t remember you. Maybe some time away is what she needs to remember. In the mean time she won’t really miss what she doesn’t even know she had. Besides we have already missed three public appearances and one convention we were supposed to be hosting. We have been here dealing with all this craziness that has seemed to become our lives ever since the moment I kicked that soccer ball at them. The producers and our agents have been very understanding so far. Don’t push it. I already bought our plane tickets. The flight leaves at six tomorrow morning. I will pick you up to head to the airport at four thirty.” With that Rob storms off leaving me speechless. I guess I didn’t have any other choice. How am I supposed to explain all of this to Courtney?
    I head back into her room and she is sound asleep. Shit! I wanted to go ahead and
