Beth Greene

For a little while, Beth had worried everything might get a little bit derailed when it came to her music as she tried to figure out when and where she had the time to write and play and practice, but Curtis has more or less saved her in a bunch of ways. The fact that he's willing to help out when she needs him to, giving her at least a little bit of time during which she can write new songs and at least one night a week to book gigs, has made it so she doesn't need to just shuffle it all aside for now.

Which means she's been thinking about it a lot.

Playing with a band has been fun, she can't deny that, but she's wondering more and more often lately if it's the right way for her to go. Her music works in the band, that's not the issue, they're willing to mostly hand over creative control and they've learned all her songs, but she's not sure it's right. Something about it, despite the fun she's had, feels off, and so she's recorded herself on her own as well as with the band, and dropped both examples off for Curt to listen to.

His opinion means a lot to her. The fact that he's at all interested in helping her seems unbelievable, but she wants to make sure she takes advantage of that and asks for help when she needs it. Which she really does in this case. She gives it a week before texting him, asking if he'll meet her for coffee to give his thoughts, and so now she's waiting at a cafe near the music store, nervously twisting the strap of her bag in her fingers.
