Just before the show would start, the band sat together at a table. It was quiet at the bar, not yet full of the rowdy types that would come out when the live music started. Since they'd been popular here before, they got invited back and it made Misty glow where she sat sideways in her chair, one booted foot up in the chair next to her. Jonah looked cool as ever, but Raz shared her enthusiasm. He could barely shut up at their last practice yesterday.

Now, their equipment sat on the stage, not yet ready for the show. Misty texted Jae last night too. Would she come? Was she here already? Misty didn't see her, but she only spared a second to look. In reality, she like the rest of her band, was focused on the upcoming show.

"Well guys, it's about time we get out there. Do your best, kay. Fist bump for luck," Jonah started as he finished off his glass of water. Holding out his fist, he initiated their pre-show ritual. Misty held out her fist too. She really did hope Jae was out there somewhere.
