Closed Starter: Simon & Isabelle
Simon’s gigs were rarely a big crowd. Small bars and open mics at coffee shops and comedy clubs. Tonight it was in a bar. The regulars weren’t really paying attention that much, a number of his friends had shown up, including Clary and his sister and then a surprise guest appeared in the middle of one of his original numbers. He almost forgot his own words when he saw Isabelle appear in the bar and she seemed to be there for him too. Or at least from where he stood, she didn’t look surprised that he was performing. He certainly was surprised to see her. Usually when he told someone about his gigs, they said they would show up and then didn’t. When the set was over, he quickly put his guitar down and said hello to Clary and Rebecca but then immediately made his way over to Isabelle, “Hi…” He said, trying unsuccessfully not to look too surprised, “You came. Thank you.”
Isabelle didn’t think too long before she decided to go see the gig. She was invited after all, and she rarely said no to invitations. Besides, the guy who was going to play was cute. Not that he was the main reason why she went to the bar of course. She was a little surprised there weren’t many people in the audience, especially since Simon’s band was pretty good. When she finally got her drink, she found herself dancing from time to time while being careful not to spill anything on herself. Izzy clapped loudly when the gig was over and smiled brightly when Simon approached her. “You’re pretty good,” she told him, reaching to squeeze his arm in greeting. “Do you perform here often?”
