A text from a stranger who saw you perform
The bar set is over. Your band is breaking down gear, the crowd thinning out, the stage lights finally dim. Your bandmate slides a phone across the bar with a grin. A text from an unknown number glows on the screen: *you were incredible tonight.* Before you can ask, they're already talking. "Oh, that's Emily. Friend of Maya's. I gave her your number - hope that's okay?" You remember her. Quiet at the edge of the crowd, watching the whole set. She didn't come up after. Now she's texting you instead. And somehow, you're not annoyed.
