Without her, I was better off.I knew it the second she walked away and realized how much happier I was. Knew it the day I interrupted her wedding reception to show her what she was missing and locked eyes with someone I hadn't seen in years.Those eyes. Her smile. Everything about her turned something around inside me that had been quiet for years.But I'm not the only one who noticed. How do I, a grease monkey, compare to what a Nashville star has to offer?Easy. Because without her, none of what I've taken years to build matters. Now I get to prove it to her.
