I Bet You Think About Me | Coriolanus Snow

Pairing: Coriolanus Snow x fem!reader (District12!reader)

Summary: On the day of his wedding he had everything... except for the bride that he wanted.

Warning/s: angst, kind of like hurt/no comfort kind of thing, wedding, marriage without love, Coryo is drinking alcohol, reader is basically Lucy Gray in this situation, possible grammar and spelling mistakes

Author's note: I'M BACKK!! I missed writing so much, to be honest. All those Coryo and Lucy Gray edits to this song, plus the music video, inspired me to do this. Enjoy!

3 AM and I'm still awake, I'll bet you're just fine

Fast asleep in your city that's better than mine

And the girl in your bed has a fine pedigree

And I'll bet your friends tell you she's better than me, huh

Coriolanus Snow. The young president of Panem. He truly now felt like he had everything. He did an outstanding job as the Gamemaker. In fact, not long after, his work was praised so much that he could finally take that last step to get what he always, truly wanted. And he, in fact, did it. He was the newest president of Panem, and he knew that that was going to last for a very long time.

He had the title. He had the riches. He never had to starve ever again. He never had to wear poorly made clothes. He had the trust of the people in the Capitol, and he had the control of those in the Districts.

But as a president, everyone expected of him to choose his First Lady of Panem as quicklyaspossible, and he knew that it couldn't be just anybody.

So here he was today. Dressed up in a traditional but quite modern black tuxedo with a white undershirt and a purely white rose tucked into his suit on the right side of his chest. Standing in front of the mirror in his bedroom, preparing his wedding speech that he will have to say once he and Livia Cardew are standing on the aisle.

Livia Cardew. She was truly perfect for him. He didn't love her, of course, but that was also his own choice. That's what made her perfect for him.

Once he was forced to find himself a bride because every elite in the Capitol kept pushing, he realized that he truly had no choice. He had to keep up his reputation respectable. So, of course, he knew that his wife, the Future Lady of the Panem, couldn't be just anybody.

Livia Cardew was rich. Her family was too, of course. Their family was respected and considered quite important. Plus, she was pretty. He couldn't really deny that, really.

He chose power, money and reputation that Livia had instead of the love, kindness and compassion that came with you.

He chose it that day that he left you in the woods of District 12. He never knew what happened to you. Did you die? Did you manage to run away in the storm that somehow messed up his head. And perhaps High-as-a-kite-Bottom was telling him some sort of truth when he said that mysteries had a way of driving people mad. And perhaps, if he stayed with you, he would marry someone for love.

Coriolanus let out a groan, shaking his head in a poor attempt to shake those thoughts away. His love for you made him weak. Weak in a way that he never wanted to experience ever again.

Livia didn't have his heart like you did. He doesn't love her. Therefore, he shall never feel weak ever again. He wanted that. He wanted to never love Livia. It was easy, though. It was easy not falling in love with her. Easy compared to you.

But no! He simply refused to think about you on this day. The day of his wedding. He refused the thoughts of you to consume his mind once again. Coriolanus wouldn't let that happen.

So he turned back to the giant mirror that stood in front of him and started to go over his vows once again.

"My darling Livia. You are the most beautiful person I have every encountered." Coriolanus felt his breath shorten at his own lies. "And today, I am honored to be your husband."

It was so fake. It was so cheesy. It was so untrue.

He had to prepare the speech for his bride. For the bride that he never loved.

"Mr. President?" One of the servants came in and addressed him shortly. "It's time."

"I will be there shortly." Coriolanus replied coldly, and the servant closed the door behind him.

Once the door was closed shut once again, he let out a quite loud sigh. In just a few minutes Livia will become a Snow and he will have to proudly show off his little wife that tormented and made fun of him for years during his academy days.

With that thought, President Coriolanus Snow stepped forward towards the door. On the doorway, he lingered. He looked out of the window across his room. He looked out on the city of the Capitol and its glamor and riches and he once again came to a realization that Livia was a perfect fit for his lifestyle unlike you. But he won't ever think of you again.

With the thoughts of you that once again swarmed his head, he loudly closed the door behind himself. Slamming it shut.

Well, I tried to fit in with your upper-crust circles

Yeah, they let me sit in back when we were in love

Oh, they sit around talkin' 'bout the meaning of life

And the book that just saved 'em that I hadn't heard of

After the priest said everything that needed to be said and after Coriolanus, and Livia, did everything that needed to be done the young, freshly married couple walked towards the reception, quickly being surrounded by the Capitol's elite that eagerly introduced themselves like they were one of the most important people there.

Perhaps they were, not that Coriolanus cared even a slightest bit.

Livia was standing in the middle of the circle made by the numerous Capitol's elite while he was standing next to her, a glass of posca in his hand. He knew that drinking that liquid in his glass was not the smartest thing for him considering the fact that the alcoholic drink was perhaps a bit too strong.

Not like he considered it worth giving a damn. He needed something very strong to wash away the feeling of Livia Snow's lips on his once the priest said that he can now kiss his bride.

And now, as he took yet another sip from the tall glass, he still felt disgusted by her. Himself. The whole situation.

A few more minutes, that to Coriolanus felt like hours, passed by. The people's excited chatter. The joy of the new President and the Panem's First Lady was over-the-top evident on everyone's face, except for his.

Livia was bathing in attention that were given to her, smiling, quite pleased with the whole situation. Coriolanus felt like he was going to throw up as he watched the scene unfold in front of him as he, too, had to pretend to be happy with everything.

And perhaps it was to much of the posca that he drowned that night or perhaps it was all of the whiteness of the entire reception that made him think what he thought. Hear what he heard.

As he took another sip from the glass, he could have sworn that he heard that melodic voice that haunted both his dreams and his worst nightmares.

But now that we're done and it's over

I bet you couldn't believe

When you realized I'm harder to forget than I was to leave

And I bet you think about me

Coriolanus watched with wide eyes as you stood a few feet away from him, dressed in the blood-red dress that reached the floor barely as it hugged your frame perfectly. You, in your red dress, stood out so perfectly among the white clothes that every guest was required to wear. You stood out so much, he wondered how nobody but him noticed you.

You stood tall and proud by the enormously big wedding cake, which required the front door to be taken away so it could be placed where it was. Snow remembered watching the staff bringing in the cake, the door laying on the grass behind the servant as they carried the said cake. It was ridiculous.

You turned towards the cake, not noticing his ever so blue eyes trailing on you as you moved.

Coriolanus felt his breath shorten once again as he watched your everlasting beauty. He was suddenly very aware of the cool glass that contained posca in his hand and the cold sweat that was sliding down his spine. Was it panic? Was it anticipation? He didn't know.

He watched you as you stretched your hand out towards the top of the cake as you stood on the gigantic table where it was placed, your red heels clicking as you did so.

Suddenly, you knocked over two figures, one of himself and one of Livia dressed up for their wedding. He let out a quiet, barely audible, gasp as you did so and then slowly lowered yourself to the ground.

A little girl, dressed in white, a guest, appeared you as Coriolanus watched. You quickly froze, standing completely still. After a very short while, you slid your finger over the icing of the cake and put the finger in your mouth, tasting the cake.

The little girl smiled and did the same. You and the girl shared the smile before you struck your hand into the cake, ripping one piece out revealing the red color under the purely white cake before you shoved it into your mouth, eating it. The little girl ran off after getting the taste of the delicious cake as you chewed on your piece.

As you did so, Coriolanus and you established eye contact. You made a grimace that clearly indicated that you were disappointed that you had been caught.

Coriolanus Snow allowed himself to blink for a moment to compose himself, and once he re-opened, you were gone.

You grew up in a silver-spoon gated community

Glamorous, shiny, bright Beverly Hills

I was raised on a farm, no, it wasn't a mansion

Just livin' room dancin' and kitchen table bills

Coriolanus and Livia sat down at the front of the reception as the entertainer did his job. He entered the guests of the Capitol’s elite with the microphone in his hand, tight grip on it, which showed Coriolanus that he was nervous.

Coriolanus brushed it off because, all things considered, he was doing quite a good job. He even found himself laughing along to the jokes that were being made.

After one more joke, he turned to one of the Capitol’s elite to quietly, with a smile on his face, discuss the joke that was made. However, the moment he turned back around, his smile disappeared at the sight in front of him.

You were standing there, in a red suit, with a red microphone on your hands, making jokes.

"And then," you spoke in the fit of giggles. "He left me in the woods to die after he told me he loved me."

You laughed after it, and every single Capitol’s elite followed. Coriolanus felt like he wanted to die at that moment, the look of pure horror planted onto his face.

"And best of all was that he HIMSELF tried to kill me with a gun!" You smiled as you tapped a few times on the table near Livia as you pointed at him with a smile, and every single guest of the wedding reception broke into laughter once again.

This can't be real, can it? Coriolanus thought to himself as he watched you.

But you know what they say, you can't help who you fall for

And you and I fell like an early spring snow

But reality crept in, you said we're too different

You laughed at my dreams, rolled your eyes at my jokes

After that, you, out of nowhere, pulled out a little red box as you made your way towards Livia, who was looking at you with anticipation and excitement.

You handed her your gift as Coriolanus found it harder and harder to breathe.

Livia quickly, but gracefully, opened the box as she removed the ribbon on top.

And as she pulled out the shawl that belonged to Coriolanus' mother, he felt like he was going to scream at the top of his lungs.

It was the shawl that Coriolanus gifted to you back when the two of you took off into the woods. That was the only thing that he found once he started to chase you through the woods. He never found you, though.

Livia placed it around her as she thanked you for the gift. Everyone around you swooned at your sweet gesture as they clapped pleasingly.

You bowed your head down slowly after you drowned the glass of alcohol, falling into the crowd of guests. Disappearing once again.

Now you're out in the world, searchin' for your soul

Scared not to be hip, scared to get old

Chasin' make-believe status, last time you felt free

Was when none of that shit mattered 'cause you were with me

Coriolanus chased after you, trying to catch you. He was suddenly blinded by the light because of the photographer that was taking pictures.

After the photographer went away, Coriolanus rubbed his eyes as his vision, thankfully, turned back to normal. He looked ahead.

And there you were. In a while wedding dress. The back of the dress was trailing behind you. The dress was also graced by white roses all over it. Your hair was in a type of hairstyle that was holding it all up. Your eyes were watching his every move as you stood in front of him.

Coriolanus felt like he couldn't breathe, and so, for a moment, he felt himself longing to cherish every moment of this.

It was just like Coriolanus had imagined it. You as his bride, himself as your groom. It was everything that he truly needed. Everything he ever wanted. Just you and him. You two of you having your first dance as a freshly married couple.

Suddenly, all lights but one went away. The white light above you shined as Coriolanus tried to catch his breath.

He slowly stepped forward, and you immediately followed his lead. Soon, you were standing in front of each other. Chest to chest. So intimate. So perfect.

He slowly reached for your hand, placing it onto his as he soaked up the feeling of your soft skin against his.

He slid his other hand around your waist, bringing you closer to him as you placed your other hand on his shoulder. For a moment, everything stood still. For a moment, the only thing that Coriolanus could hear was his breathing and the beating of his heart.

Coriolanus and you leaned your foreheads against each other, noses brushing. Coriolanus closed his eyes. He never wanted this to end. Then you started to dance.

You were moving with such grace as he spinned you around. His hand in yours as you slided around the dance floor.

"Coryo," your soft voice that whispered in his ear broke the peaceful silence, and his eyes snapped to yours. His eyes. His ocean blue eyes that were always so cold now looked at you with so much gentleness and pure adoration.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Anything, my love." Coriolanus answered without any hesitation.

"Does it make you feel sad that the love that you're looking for was the love that you had?"

Coriolanus was speechless. The look in your eyes caused the lump in his throat to be stuck there forevermore. He didn't say anything. He didn't protest to your claim. How could he? You were right. On the day of his wedding, he wished to marry you, not Livia. He never found in Livia what he did in you, and he, let's be honest, never will.

Suddenly, before he could stop you, you moved away from him, letting go of his hand and shoulder.

But now that we're done and it's over

I bet it's hard to believe

But it turned out I'm harder to forget than I was to leave

And, yeah, I bet you think about me

You lifted the front of your dress a little bit so you could walk without tripping over. You gazed over your shoulder at Coriolanus before you continued to walk away.

Once you were far away from him, you turned around, quickly causing your hair to fall down your shoulders as you leaned towards him.

All of a sudden, your dress turned red, and as you took a hold of your guitar that he knew all too well (hihi, get it?) the white roses on your dress were painted red.

The white curtain behind you fell, revealing the red light and the Covey as you played your guitar, softly swaying to the music you made.

"I hope you get what you deserve, Coriolanus Snow," you spoke softly, meeting his eyes once more. "But I don't need to worry. You will get what you deserve one day."

With a soft smile, you started to sing.

I bet you think about me when you're out

At your cool indie music concerts every week

I bet you think about me in your house

With your organic shoes and your million-dollar couch

I bet you think about me when you say

"Oh my God, she's insane, she wrote a song about me"

I bet you think about me 🌹

tenesse whiskey - spencer reid

a/n: this is my first spencer reid fic! i hope you all like it (sorry for the mistakes, emglish isn't my first language

spencer reid x fem!readed

you took a whole look at your relationship with spence since day one and everything you go through (based on tenesse whiskey by chris stapleton)

warnings: none only fluffy!

You first met Spencer because of your old friend Emily. You two met each other at an event the university you teach promoted and the FBI was invited, she was the one who represents the BAU. After that you became really close friends. And one day she invited you to a dinner at her place. 

In this dinner she introduced you to Spencer. The two of you clicked right away. You were so intrigued by his mind and he was so overwhelmed by your personality that it was the perfect match. He was going back to teach in the same university as you which means you were going to see each other frequently. 

It took Spencer three days to show up at your office with coffee and the most beautiful smile you've ever seen. You heard the rumors about him being the new hot professor on campus and you decided to keep it cool for a while. 

"I heard you have classes until seven, do you want to have dinner?" You remember him asking a little nervously. 

"Sure, I would love to! You can wait for me here if you want to." He nods and you smile. 

He never waited for you in your office. He was waiting for you in your class. He watched the whole thing. He was absolutely enchanted on how you speak, look and behave in front of that whole class, explaining something so hard like it was nothing. After this day he tried to watch all of the classes he could, he even asked questions out of curiosity. 

You loved every interaction you had since day one. The way he was interested in every detail of your life it was the fuel of something. You have dated before but neither of those men were interested to know you that much. 

 Spencer realized he was in love on a random night where he was in your apartment for a 'work date'. Both of you were always together, of course you hooked up a few times but never serious, only causal.You were reading a paper and the way your hair was falling on your shoulder, your lips curled and you were wearing sweatpants with his plath shirt. So relaxed next to him almost like it was a natural thing between you. 

"You're staring, Spence." You looked at him with a smirk. 

"I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world." His words hit you harder and you covered your face. "Seriously, you can make a whole room shine just with your smile. I am so in love with you." 

You laugh at his confession and he didn't even get mad. He knew you were trying to find the words.

"Well, it's your lucky day because I'm kinda in love too. Take it or leave it."

It took him more than three years, five months, seventy days and sixteen hours to propose to you. His hands were shaking so much and he was afraid you would tell him no  — like that was even an option. He planned a whole speech but it was all gone when he saw you in the backyard of your new home, with a glass of wine and his favorite book. He didn't say a word. Which is unusual because he always has something to say. He gets down on one knee and shows you the ring. 

"Spencer, don't fucking play with me right now." Your voice was so shaky when you noticed what that meant. 

"I'm so serious every time I say you are the love of my life. I want to spend the rest of my days with you, I don't care what we are up to for the future, just know that if you are there with me nothing is impossible. I want to give you love, peace, children. You brought me back to life, you rescued me from reaching the rock bottom. Everyday is a new blank page of a book and writing on those pages with you is the privilege of my existence. So, will you marry me?" 

In the end of his words you were sobbing so loud that it took you five minutes to answer what he already knew. 

"I do! Oh my god, yes!" You kissed him, throwing yourself at the man. 

You got married next weekend in your house. The laugh filling the air, your closest friends were there to cheer you up. Rossi officiated the wedding and he was so happy doing it. Everything was perfect the way you dreamed. 

Two years after that you were having the extra bedroom turning into a nursery. Your pregnancy was a little unexpected - from you. Reid wasn't surprised at all. He noticed how tired and sleepy you were, you were eating strange things and you were nauseous in the same way JJ was when she was pregnant.

Now you are lying on the couch, swollen belly watching your favorite movies while your husband works in the kitchen just to keep an eye on you. You were seven and a half months, you were feeling bigger than ever but every time you complained Spencer just shysh you. 

"Oh for fucks sake." You paused your movie and made your way to the bathroom again. It was the sixth time in less than an hour. 

"Remind you to never let you put a baby on me again." You swear at him and he laughs loudly. 

"Sorry, my bad." He was so madly hypnotized by you and the way you glow. 

You made your way to the kitchen to make a little snack for the next few minutes until you got up again. 

"Like you really believe you're sorry." Your marvelous smirk made him smile even more. You made your way to him, passing your arms around his shoulder. He gently rubs the hands in your belly. 

"You know you're giving mommy a hard time?" You love when he speaks to the baby. He reads in a book that if the parents keep talking to the baby in the belly it is so much easier to keep them calm after birth. You can't count the nights when you woke up.to him reading and having actual talks with your baby. "At least she's still safe here." 

He was mesmerized by how little Amelia kicked when both spoke to her. "If I peed my pants again I'll let you sleep on the couch." You teased him. 

"You can't leave the bed without my help. Which means you can't sleep without me." He was so right, you just rolled your eyes and kissed his cheek before walking towards the couch. 

That was the life you always wanted. With the man of your dreams and the sweet taste of happiness just like a strawberry wine.

Chris Stapleton - Higher

So today on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would like to talk about the latest album from Country Music Superstar Chris Stapleton. The new album is titled "Higher" and was released on Friday November 10th, 2023. But before we talk about 14 track album. We will talk a little about Chris Stapleton's career next.

Chris Stapleton has released such hits like "Tennessee whiskey", "You should probably leave", & "Starting over". Other songs include "Broken halos", "Joy of my life", & "Millionaire". Chris has scored 3 number ones on my weekly list MSR (Midnight Star Report). My weekly list combines both CMT (Country Music Television), the Billboard Country Music Airplay Charts, & even myself. The list used to include GAC (Great American Country) until the list officially retired at the end of 2018. But let's jump back into the new project next.

Chris co-wrote all 14 tracks, and even had help from Miranda Lambert. The lead single from the CD is "White horse", and the title track is "Higher". Songs you should also check out are "What am I gonna do", "Trust", & "It takes a woman". Other songs you may like are "Think I'm in love with you", "Crosswind", & "The mountains of my mind". The stand out tracks in my mind are "The bottom", "The day I die", & "Weight of your world". Here is the rest of the track list now.

Track list.

What am I gonna do.

South Dakota.

Trust.

It takes a woman.

The fire.

Think I'm in love with you.

Loving you on my mind.

White horse.

Higher.

The bottom.

The day I die.

Crosswind.

Weight of your world.

Mountains of my mind.

And that's a wrap for the track list. And on the MSR (Midnight Star Report), I would give this album a 5 out of 5 stars. I felt like this was a well balanced album. There was a lot of stand out tracks from this new project. And Chris is one to put his heart and soul into every song he does for us. If you are a Chris Stapleton fan, this is an album you must get. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. See ya all next time.

Liquor was the only love I'd known

But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom

And brought me back from bein' too far gone

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey

You're as sweet as strawberry wine

You're as warm as a glass of brandy

Honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton

(lyrics by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove)

“You've got to be fucking kidding me.”

She had just swung the door open and started walking towards the bar when Baz stopped wiping the countertop, looking surprised and baffled.

“That's not the welcome I expected to hear, Baz!” she let out a hearty laugh and settled on one of the bar stools. “I've missed you, old fart. I've missed your drinks!”

“This is so unlike you, why are you back so soon?” Baz squinted and asked her suspiciously.

“Before anything else, can I have a martini and a good 'ol song to set the mood?” she said, winking.

“You,” Baz took the little cloth back to the sink and shook his head, a smile creeping up, “You're the only person who walks in here this late, once in maybe 3 or 4 years and every single time, it's raining. That's already a mood.” He switched the speakers on and began preparing her request, “Olives?” he queried.

“Oh yes, please. Thank you.”

♪ Used to spend my nights out in a barroom

liquor was the only love I'd known

but you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom

and brought me back from being too far gone ♪

“Sooooo.. who is she?”

She took a sip, “Baz.. my mentor, my old pal, the best bartender in this shitty town,” she took the tissue and wiped her lips, “It's a he.”

“Goodness fucking gracious, kiddo.”

She laughed again but this time a little louder, “That's the second one tonight!”

“Are we speaking about the same guy?”

“Yes, yes, we are. You saw him the last time I was here.” She continued, “Mi primer amor. I told you about him a couple of times.”

“I know him,” he commented. “I've always wondered how you were so sure about it, that it was love. You two were so young back then. You did tell me you've gotten over him.”

“I thought I did..” she took another sip, “But...”

♪ You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey

you're as sweet as strawberry wine

you're as warm as a glass of brandy

and honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time ♪

“But? Go on.”

“Now that we're back in each other's lives, it feels so different. Nothing like anything I've ever felt before. He's got this effect on me that makes me feel good. I'm not saying it's all rainbows and butterflies.. trust me it hadn't been. He drove me nuts, did some shit I would most likely never forgive if I was less experienced or if I still have the same mindset as when I was younger, but he..” she paused, as if thinking of a more suitable word to describe how she feels. “I want to be a better person. I want to work on myself. He triggered that in me.”

She popped an olive into her mouth, “And I love him, Baz. No conditions whatsoever,” she added.

“Goddamn.” Baz was speechless. “Goddamn,” he repeated. “Isn't he...?” he asked, looking very stern.

“Yes, he is.. unfortunately.” She downed the martini and asked for another.

“Kid, I worry about you. Are you sure you're okay? how are you taking this? You're free! you can have anyone you want.” He took her empty glass and served her another.

“Tell me something new, Baz. I've heard everything already. My friends, my sisters.. they all said the same thing: Leave him. Find someone else.”

“You know I won't say that. I'm just asking why you're staying.”

She sighed, closed her eyes and pinched her nose bridge, “If I leave, it'll break both our hearts. I can't stand the thought of hurting him again because I feel it too. It cripples me. I tried doing it many times already, and each time I did, it felt like I was losing a body part. The first time I did it, it felt like I lost a leg. Every passing day, I woke up feeling like I made a wrong decision and it was haunting me, I couldn't shake it off. I've never felt that way with anyone before.”

♪ I've looked for love in all the same old places

found the bottom of a bottle's always dry

but when you poured out your heart, I didn't waste it

'cause there's nothing like your love to get me high ♪

She opened her eyes and downed the dry martini again, “I can handle being alone, Baz, you of all people know that.. but I'm choosing to stay because I love him. If he ever asks for my heart, I'd say he already has it. Always have been. He just didn't know I handed it to him years ago. I left it here in this town because he was here. I couldn't love anyone more than him or give my heart to someone else. If I did, I'd be lying to myself. He's it for me, Baz.”

“I get you. Love is like that.. when it hits you, it hits you, right? whatever the case may be. It makes you do things you've never imagined yourself doing. Morals, rules, fixed formulas about what's right and wrong or good and evil.. they all fly out,” Baz explained, “but I still can't believe he broke your heart at 13!” he chided.

“Yeah..” she took another long, deep sigh. “I realized he didn't break my heart when we were teens, I actually did that to myself. He didn't know about my feelings then so I shouldn't be blaming him if he did something that hurt me. He was unaware.”

“Does this mean you'll meet him again now that you're here?”

“I don't think so..” she grumbled. “Still not the right time. We're not ready.”

“How are you to know he's not ready?” Baz asked, one eyebrow raised.

She turned to look outside the window and noticed the rain began to cease, “...because I'm not.”

I think I've become sort of super delusional because I've been listening to so much country music, lol.

But country music is very storytelling-based, and my weird intrigue now is...how to turn country music into Roosmav fic? I love the "guys being dudes" genre, and that is basically country music. The sex part is very negligible because in my ideal pairing, I wouldn't care who tops/bottoms, and I don't (anymore). There are different things I look for in Rooster bottoming vs. Maverick bottoming, etc., but that's just based on my actual read of the characters, and I don't expect anyone else to see these characters in the way that I do.

Anyway, one of my dreams is to turn Chris Stapleton's "White Horse" (amazing, epic song) into an actual fic. These lyrics garner such imagery for me:

This love is gettin' kind of dangerous Feels like it's a loaded gun My my, it's turning like a cloud of dust My heart always wants to run

I hope you enjoy it!” Phipps was recently surprised at The Southern Women in Film & Television Summit’s Women of True Grit Faith and Film Breakfast with the first ever “Rising Star” award, presented by author, Edie Hand just after her performance of her single “You Bring The Beer (I’ll Bring The Noise).” “This was a wonderful surprise to receive the first-ever “Rising Star” Award from the ladies at SWIFT,” shares Phipps. “This has been such an incredible journey and to be acknowledged for my hard work is always humbling.
