A Nashville Encounter with Stars and Unexpected Hugs

I was in a hall at the back left facing the stage and the Nashville Cast was there. I saw Lennon and Maisy Stella, Charles Esten, Eric Church and an unknown black woman. Dylan Keogh from Casualty announced to them that they needed to meet someone, "Deana is the biggest fan of Nashville." I said "why would you do that to me Dylan" and he answered with something that I don't remember. When he said that and pointed to me, the black woman came to me and put her head on mine and signed to the father son and holy ghost with her head and smiled, then walked off. The next to come over was Lennon and Maisy Stella. Maisy said about how I should try the Caribbean Texas Barbeque ribs. I said I have and they're really good. Lennon said about trying Pickled Eggs and I said yum. We all laughed. Charles Esten came up behind them and sat backwards on the chair in front of me. He said my name, so I looked at him. He asked me what part of Nashville was my favourite, I said every part and he smiled. Then I said when Rayna kicked the bucket I practically died with her though. Dylan Keogh smiled a sad smile, and Eric Church patted me on the back. Then Chip got up and hugged me tight. It was the best hug I have ever had in my whole life, especially because I absolutely hate hugs in real life. Then I woke up unfortunately.
