Soundcheck - Act 2 Part 1
Happy Jilytober!
The band was growing. They had more fans and were getting good enough to deserve them. Still, there would always be a night when something wasn’t working; no one showed, they were off, soundcheck had been rushed and the mics were giving feedback. She was the only way he got through.
She didn’t stand up front. Much too tacky, she said. Her spot was the barstool closest to the stage. Far enough back as to be separate from those who showed up for the music. Close enough he could see her grin through the dim lighting. He played best when he performed just for her; hers was the opinion he most cared about. She never let him think he was perfect, and would join Remus in musical critiques just as often as she would defend him from them. But he could tune a chord to her smile, find the resonance in her laughter, and thanked the stars everyday that he was able to justify these fuzzy sentiments as lyrics.

Start at the Beginning
This has taken me forever, but hopefully I’ve made up for it with the length of this update. The pandemic really stole my creativity and motivation but sentence by sentence I now have the next chapter for you. It would mean so much if you could tell me what you think. <3
