And Here We Are: A Second Chance Romance After Everything
Before they were anything else, Cody Billings and Cheyenne Staley were inseparable.
Cody grew up surrounded by privilege and expectations. Cheyenne had spent years convinced she hated the Wyoming life and American Indian culture she grew up in. Then her mother died, her father uprooted her to Tennessee, and everything she thought she wanted to leave behind became the home she could no longer reach. On paper, they should have had little in common.
Music changed that.
It made them friends, then something closer than either knew how to name.
Until one night drove them apart.
Sixteen years later, the lives they built without each other have begun to collapse.
Cody has spent years inside the music business. Cheyenne once had a music career of her own before marriage meant settling down, stepping away from the stage, and becoming someone she is no longer certain she ever chose to be.
By 2028, both of their marriages have crumbled, leaving them to question how much of the lives they built were ever truly their own.
Then death brings them together again.
A restored Travelall and Airstream, both carrying more of Cody's past than he expects, become the unlikely start of a trip west. Cash, a rambunctious Goldendoodle with no
respect for personal space and an uncontrollable urge to chase anything that moves, comes along for the ride. So do old songs, old arguments, a hundred-dollar gamble that becomes something much bigger, Wyoming roads, rodeos, rivers, and a few unexpected performances that remind everyone, including Cheyenne, exactly who she used to be.
And perhaps who she still is.
But nostalgia has a way of uncovering more than memories.
Did sixteen years apart change Cody and Cheyenne enough to finally understand what they lost?
Or did it simply take them sixteen years to realize they never chose to lose it at all?
And here we are.
