Mayor Tony Ross has been making the rounds around Horace in the past weeks lending a helping hand and reminding residents that life will get back to normal. "We are a strong community, and we are working together to make this a great town, a town we are proud to call home."Lying wrapped around Shelby was becoming one of Austin's favorite things. Where he usually wanted to get up and leave, he could get used to spending nights with her in his arms. He had even rushed back from L.A. just so he could be with her, and he never did anything like that. When he felt her fingers tracing his arm, he smiled against the back of her neck."I didn't expect these," she said as she continued to work her way up his arm."I mostly did it to piss off my dad," he admitted."Something so permanent? That seems really extreme.""I don't do things halfway," he mused. "It's all or none."And it had been that way since he could remember, even before he was in the entertainment business. He remembered

On their recent press tour, Innominate announced they wanted to give back to their fans. They have decided to give away a row of seats for every show they do on their next tour for one lucky fan at every stop. To enter, all you have to do is tweet why you want to win with the hashtag #InnOneRowWith Austin so close, Shelby couldn't think. Her thoughts were scrambled and instead of wanting to leave, she wanted to stay, she wanted to keep Austin for herself even though she didn't think it was possible. "Tell me what's going on in there?" he asked as he tapped her temple with a finger.Looking up into his eyes, she was lost, lost to anything and everything going on around them. "I was coming to tell you that I was ready to give us a shot, a real shot."A smile pulled at his lips and he finally said, "You mean it? You'll be my girlfriend?""That's what I'd been coming to tell you."His face fell. "Why do I get the feeling you've changed your mind?""Did you mean it?""Mean what?"

Businesses are starting to open up again, and that's good news for the town of Horace. Residents are starting to feel like their hometown is making progress. Chief of Police estimates that about a quarter of the population has already moved back into their homes. "We're guessing they either had minor damage or no damage to their homes and now that the power is back on, they see no reason to stay away." When we asked the chief about safety, he had this to say, "Things have been great so far. There has been minimal issue with theft, but we aren't having any other problems with violence. The community has really stepped up.""I don't wanna adult today," Shelby whined as she stretched her arms above her head. "Please tell me there's a free pass.""Sorry sweetness," Austin said as he ran his big hand up her leg. "We could just play hooky, though.""Can't," she told him as she let him pull her leg over his hip. "You've got to meet with the builders, and I've got stuff with the libr

Shawn McMann was spotted out this week with his buddies at Club Nitro. They were all having a great time, but Amanda was nowhere to be seen. A source says that when a group of women approached and sat on all the guy's laps, he didn't bother to move them. Maybe McMann and Marks are headed for Divorce Court."You can't be serious."Shelby looked over at Austin and then back at the car in front of them. Oh yeah, she was serious."Why not?""Shelby," he scolded."Austin," she said and glared at him. "This is a good car. And look at that price! You can't beat that.""You don't need to worry about price, sweetness.""We already talked about this. You aren't paying for my car.""You aren't driving around a hunk of junk just to prove a point.""Watch me," she challenged."Good afternoon folks, I see you're looking at that Honda.""Hi," Shelby said cheerfully to the dealer. "I was just wondering about this one.""No she wasn't," Austin butted in."Yes," she said with a pointed look to

@EllieChell: My sis and her BFF are having dinner with my future hubs. Don't spill the beans since he doesn't know it yet. #SoJelly@KatieBug: Please @EllieChell we all know you think you're going to land @TheWilHarris. Fat chance. #DreamOn@TheWilHarris: I didn't know my parents set me up with an arranged marriage, but I checked out your pic @EllieChell, and I'm down."Yo, Randy, How's it going?" Wil hollered as they came through the door of Suds and Spuds. Austin felt a wicked case of Déjà vu. All the events that had brought him to Shelby had started right in this place, and here he was back in the restaurant not only with Shelby, but they'd crossed a line last night. "Hey, boys, I haven't seen you in weeks. You cheating on me?" Randy asked as he came up to their table in the back of the room."We've been helping out Austin. We wouldn't cheat on you," Nate told him."How's the family?" Randy asked Austin."Good. Real good."Looking over at Shelby, Randy smiled and then sho
