Ted stood off to the side, away from the crowd bustling around backstage. He’d never done a solo song in front of a live audience before, and his nerves were psyching him out. “What if I forget the lyrics?” he lamented. “What if the crowd hates me?”
Jane, another singer, walked by, and saw the furrow in his brow. “Something wrong?”
He sighed. “First song jitters. Any advice?”
Jane smiled. “You’ve been practicing for weeks. You’ve knocked it out in rehearsals. You got this.”
Ted’s spirits lifted after this pep talk. He smiled back. “Yeah. I got this.”
Show time.
