I woke up at 4 am so I could get my things together and get to the airport for my early morning flight. I whispered to Caroline
"Baby you don't need to come to the airport if you don't want to"
She stirred and sat up
"Luke I'm coming give me five minutes and I will be ready, I want to spend every last minute with you" she said jumping up and throwing on some sweats and my hoodie "see I'm all ready to go"
I said goodbye to mama and asked her to look after Caroline and that if she wanted to stay and mine then to let her.
We sat in silence all the way to the airport, holding one another's hand, enjoying the silence and the company.
I arrived at the terminal and parked up my truck. Caroline was going to drive it back.
"Baby I want you to spend as much time as possible at mamas if you want and I'm sure Sadie will be welcome also."
"I need to go home at some point baby but I love staying at yours as well and I think your mama enjoys the company."
The tannoy called my flight
"I need to go baby, I will miss you. The time will fly in and before you know it I will be back home"
I noticed her frown a little
"What's up baby" I asked.
"Home here to Leesburg or home to Nashville" she said
"Baby my home is where you are, we can discuss it more when I'm home, ok"
"Come back to me" she said
"Of course I will. Now please be careful going home ok. I will call when I land in Seattle ok baby. I love you" I said kissing her passionately
"I love you too" she said when we finally broke apart.
I grabbed my bag, gave her one last kiss and headed to my plane. 
I got on the plane and got my note pad out the words to a new song started to flow.
From that first second I laid eyes on you
To them kisses this morning
To right now in this room
You know I've been going crazy over you
And here we are again tonight
Holding on feeling right
Lets shake the sand off the sheets
Take them shoes off your feet
Slide the door on open
Listen to the waves on the beach
Pull you in like the tides
Get lost in your eyes, oh girl
Before you get to loving on me
Let's shake the sand off the sheets
This can't be no buzz from the salt in the air
I ain't never had no drink do me like this I swear
Feels like I'm spinning around
Watching the wind through your hair
And here we are again tonight
Holding on feeling right
Before I hit the lights
Let's shake the sand off the sheets
Take them shoes off your feet
Slide the door on open
Listen to the waves on the beach
Pull you in like the tides
Get lost in your eyes, oh girl
Before you get to loving on me
Let's shake the sand off the sheets
So I'll just keep holding on
Loving you all night long
Let's shake the sand off the sheets
Take them shoes off your feet
Slide the door on open
Listen to the waves on the beach
Pull you in like the tides
Get lost in your eyes, oh girl
Before you get to loving on me
Let's shake the sand off the sheets
Let's shake the sand off the sheets
