"He sure got all the talent in our family," Trey said approvingly.
"And the looks," added Patty.
"Oh, come on. Have you two looked in a mirror lately?" Patty and Trey Barnes were a good-looking couple, period. Alexis didn't think anyone could argue with that.

"Sounds like an ideal combination," said Alexis and turned her attention back to the stage as Tyler geared up for another song.
He played two more of his original songs and ended with Silver Bells, a Christmas crowd pleaser. By the end of the evening, Alexis found her spirits gently lifted. She'd cried more in the past few days than in the months following the accident.
It was as though the island was determined to cleanse her soul.
