              hands are wrapped TIGHTLY around the guitar, her feet  n e r v o u s l y  tapping against the ground. she’s never played SOLO before && if it weren’t for deacon’s  h e l p  earlier in the day, daphne would have had ZERO confidence in her ability to play the  g u i t a r  and preform WITHOUT maddie. she blows a puff of air from her cheeks, trying to calm her  r a p i d l y  beating heart. she was BEYOND nervous && she was fighting the urge to go tell rayna she  c o u l d n ’ t  do it. but then she remembered her LESSONS with deacon && she started to calm down just a  t a d. the show wasn’t going to start for AWHILE, but daphne couldn’t just  s i t  in her dressing room && wait. she’s LOST in thought until she feels a  h a n d  on her shoulder. she turns towards the other person — expecting it to be deacon, or MAYBE even maddie. when she realizes it’s actually haymitch, arms wrap around him as quickly as  p o s s i b l e  while her head rests against his chest. “i don’t know if i can do it WITHOUT maddie.”

He's kept the gift hidden away at his cabin while he worked on restoring it to its former glory. With shaking hands and little patience, he's not the most skilled at crafting and woodwork, but he's done his best, and if nothing else, the damn thing'll play well. He brings it to her with a grin, presenting a restored vintage ukulele that's safely tucked inside a hard-case with a pink ribbon wrapped around it. "I got you this t'help with your music. Open it up."

              she’s scribbling down lyrics for the song she’s been working on with haymitch when she hears him come back into the room. she sets the pen down, and turns towards the sound of his footprints. the moment daphne sees the hard case wrapped with pink bow, a larger than life smile appears on her face. daphne takes the ukulele case delicately from his hands, and sets it on her lap. she looks back up at him once more, before opening the case to reveal the beautifully restored VINTAGE ukulele. eyes widen, and she runs her fingers over the frets. “this is the most beautiful instrument i’ve EVER seen. you’re really giving this to me? thank you so much!” she places the instrument NEXT to her, and throws her arms around haymitch in the tightest hug she could give.

▋♫ HAYMITCH.

        There aren’t many people who know the location of his cabin, and when there’s a knock at the door, it has him frowning in confusion. He’d ignore it if not for the familiar voice that calls out. It’s enough to have him rushing to the door, heartbeat picking up a faster rhythm as the concern and panic begin to take hold, sending adrenaline racing through his system. It only gets worse when he opens the door and sees the tears in her eyes. He immediately reaches out to pull her into his arms.     “Hey, it’s okay. Ssh — what the hell are you doin’ here, kid? What happened? How’d you get here?”

          she’s rocking back and forth ANXIOUSLY on her heels, while she waits for the door to open. she’s about to knock again when the door swings open. within a matter of seconds, his arms envelop her small frame in a hug, and her arms wrap around him. she rests her head against his chest, her eyebrows FURROWING as the tears only flow more. “i took a cab. i went to your house first, but when you weren’t there, i knew you were here.” daphne’s tears are soaking into his shirt, and her body is shaking from her cries. “i don’t LIKE being at home anymore!” daphne’s hold tightens. “it’s my mom, deacon, and maddie. that’s the family.”

         her head is leaned up against the TAXI CAB window and her knees are pulled into her chest. she’s been trying extremely hard not to cry from the moment she sat down on the leather seat, but the m o m e n t she feels the car stop and sees haymitch’s house come into view, the tears start to form in her brown eyes. she digs the money out of her pocket before climbing out of the cab, and SLAMMING the door shut. running up to his door, daphne knocks quickly against the wooden door. when she opens her mouth to speak, her chest tightens and her voice becomes shaky. “haymitch, i KNOW you’re here. please open up --” she hiccups, her eyes squeezing tightly closed, her tears finally escaping her eyes. “ -- it’s daphne!”

     “You’re right.  They are. See, I like those or big,       wolfy dogs.  Gotta look a little scruffy. But, uh       — I reckon he’s gonna be a gift. So I’m gonna       need you to help me pick a dog Sadie’s gonna       like.”

    “awwww this puppy is gonna be the greatest gift ever! i     will help you make SURE of it. i think you’re going to end     up bringing home a cute, cuddly, warm, little lab puppy!”

                                     “Well I think you look like a princess” 

                  Aphrodite said as she entered the room. The goddess had been watching on for a while waiting for the right time to make herself known. In these modern times where she was thought no more than a myth, she had more time and FREEDOM to be there for those who needed her most and the young blonde was definitely among those ranks. So often in children were forgotten in families like this where their elders were too wrapped up in work and the pull of romantic love, she’d seen it countless times and now that her sister had too gotten older and become CONSUMED with the love of a boy there was no one left to put the youngest Conrad first. No one but her anyway. 

           at the sound of a voice she doesn’t recognize, daphne quickly spins around to face the door. when she sees the woman in front of her, she oddly feels more CALM already. how was that possible? she doesn’t even know this person. she swallows the lump in her throat, before she cracks a soft smile. “you do?” daphne’s hopeful, before she shakes her head. “no, i don’t. i look dumb, just like maddie said.” daphne plops down on her bed, before eyes focus back on the raven haired beauty. she studies her face for a moment, no bells of familiarity ringing. “wait... how did you get in here? who are you?” she asks out of curiosity, but she can feel deep within her heart that she has no reason to be afraid. “do you really think i look like a PRINCESS?”

                           “just get out! just get out of my room!”

          daphne watches as maddie rolls her eyes before her elder sister huffs and storms out of the tiny blonde’s room. daphne turns around, eyes falling on herself in the mirror. she tilts her head, eyes scanning over her outfit and the bright red lipstick she had put on so she could look like MADDIE. she just wanted her sister to WANT to sing with her like they used to -- she wanted maddie to be excited about their mother signing them as a duo to highway 65. small hands tug on the hem of the sparkly crop top she’d taken from maddie, while eyes look down at the paused video of juliette preforming with the eldest conrad sister. teeth clench and she resists the urge to close her laptop and fling it across the room. maddie’s teasing echoes in her mind, and tears start to form. “i guess i do look stupid.”
