<🎧 Song Recommendation: I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers>
...
Von had spent the last month walking onto stages where twenty thousand people screamed before he even touched a microphone.
But something about this current setting just felt right... And unlike Emily's expectations, he didn't feel nervous at all. Instead, he was eager to impress the crowd.
He adjusted the stool and picked up the guitar. "Ryan's hands are dead, apparently."
That earned a few laughs. Ryan lifted one hand from the bar.
"They served me well."
"I'll fill in for a minute then," Von added with a smile.
He strummed once on the guitar, then discovered it was slightly out of tune.
Von fixed it by ear, tested the strings again, then settled into the progression.
Emily recognized it almost the song immediately, and her smile softened.
'When You Leave the Room.'
