The show must go on. Heart and Soul #8sunday #snippetsunday

Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.

This is in Rowan's POV. Last week: Rowan was a little rattled after singing with band.

"Rowan?"

She jumped at the sound of her
voice and turned to find Katie had walked over to her.

"Is everything okay?"
Katie asked.

She nodded, even though it was
a lie. "I need a glass of water." She'd like something stronger, but
when coffee was the drink of choice in the joint, she'd stick with something
that wouldn't make her jittery.

She followed Katie to the bar,
and she went around to the other side to fill a glass for her. She added ice
and lemon too.

She indulged, letting the cold liquid slide down her throat. She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.

"Are you sure you're
okay?" Katie asked again, and clearly, she didn't believe it the first
time she answered.

"I'm fine." She gave
her a weak smile. "We almost had a meltdown in there." She nodded
toward the back room. "No one told me the lead singer had stage
fright."

"Yikes. Poor Jesse. Will
he make it through the night?"

She took another generous sip
of her water. "I think so. I hope so," she said on a chuckle. "I
don't want to go up there and sing another song. Thanks for the water,"
she added as she placed it on the counter.

"Wait," Katie said.
"You sang with the band?"

"Yep, gotta get back there." She turned away before Katie could question further and headed for the stageroom.

Jesse hammed it up after he
relaxed and found his groove, and the audience loved them. The guy had moves
too, and on that small stage, it proved impressive. Travis could put Elvis to
shame with the way his hips moved to the beat. Phoenix flipped his drumsticks
as if he were a performer in a circus, juggling bowling pins.

About Heart and Soul...

80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31
1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a
thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose
would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing
80s star. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since the
woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back
reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?
