Gina Will Do Anything to Protect Her Husband and Her Band
Perfection is one of the hottest bands on the rock n’ roll scene and they are being wooed into the seductive pitfalls that come with fame. How will they continue to rise when temptation is all around them?
Lead singer, Gina, is seen as The Sexy Siren of Rock for her onstage heat and glamour, but her true love is offstage—as wife to guitarist Trevor, and mother to their miracle baby, Roxanne.
Keeping a family together while touring with the band is hard enough, but Gina is faced with an even more sinister challenge. Trevor’s old friend, Brian Mayfield is hell bent on separating the couple—using drugs, alcohol, and women as his weapons. But why is he so driven to destroy them? How far will tough-as-nails Gina go to protect the ones she loves?
Gina had never seen her parents dance before and wasn’t about to miss this. “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” started to play. Mario and Franny truly displayed their love as they glided effortlessly across the floor.
Watching her parents dance in perfect unison, Gina started weeping and couldn’t stop. Trevor drew her closer, seeing how emotional she was. Mario walked over and dragged Gina to the dance floor. Franny grabbed Trevor and brought him out to the floor as well. Gina continued to cry as she listened to the words, dancing with her father, knowing he would always watch out for her. Everyone started clapping. The emotion was too much for her. The hormones of her pregnancy were kicking in. She kissed her father.
“Princess, you are the daughter every man should be happy to have.”
She tried to get the words out between sobs, “Thank you Daddy. I love you too.”
As the dance ended, Gina turned away and started walking fast to the house. Trevor caught up to her. “That was a beautiful sentiment, and I can see you’re emotional. The hormones are catching up with you. What can I do?”
Gina was sobbing. “Just hold me for a minute until I get myself together. I never saw my parents in love like that. It got to me.”
Lisa came over. “Gina, you okay?” Trevor answered, explaining that seeing her parents dance made Gina a little emotional.
