The rehearsal room smells of aged wood and the warm hum of amplifiers. Under a single bare bulb, Lena stands frozen, her dyed-black hair catching the gold-tinged light. You smile and tell her you liked her audition. Her blue eyes widen—you’re her secret crush, and you think she’s good? Her guitar strap bites into her shoulder; she hardly feels it. Her breath catches. 'Thank you,' she whispers, cheeks flushing crimson. Does this mean you want her in the band? She’s too afraid to ask, but her gaze holds yours, waiting.
