Mikaela's POV
"Okay yeah he was good." Tobin says as Teddy Swims and his band leave the stage.
"I gotta get his stuff on Spotify." Alex says as Katana, Talia, Emma, Sahara, and Aurora come on stage then they get set up for the rest of the concert.
Once again Talia's playing electric guitar and electric guitar depending on the song, Emma's playing bass, Aurora is playing the keys, Sahara is playing the drums, and all of them are singing backing vocals.
Katana's just singing now.
While Katana sets up, she talks to the crowd about Teddy Swims' performance.
"...Well I'm glad you liked him." Katana says as I notice she's changed shirts.
Katana's now wearing a red short sleeve button down shirt.
My wife's fine as fuck.
"So the rest of the songs we'll be performing tonight are on my album that's out next week." Katana says then she looks at me. "Right."
"Yep." I say.
"Sweet." Katana says. "Oh Mama Shiffrin is here."
"Hi." My Mom says with a smile.
"I feel like I shoulda seen you earlier." Katana says. "Oopsie."
"Dork." Sahara and Aurora say.
"Anyway." Katana says. "My new album is called Letters."
"I wonder..." Sophia says then one of the other national team ladies covers the young forward mouth.
"She's explaining it." Crystal says.
"So as most of you know, my wife Oksana loved to write letters and that habit rubbed off on me." Katana says. "So about a year ago I found the letters that I wrote to Oksana when we were dating so I read through them and by reading them I got ideas for songs to write so that's why the album is called Letters.
"Oh." Sophia says while blushing.
"This albums is mostly based off letters I wrote to Oksana in the beginning of our relationship." Katana says. "Also I hope to make more songs from the letters and put out volumes of album for them."
I don't think Katana will ever take a break from putting out music, but it makes her happy so who cares.
"So this first song is based of a letter I wrote when I realized I was falling for Oksana." Katana says as she and her bandmates start playing. "This song is called Grace."
A couple seconds into the song Katana starts singing.
I'm not ready to be just another of your mistakes
I can't seem to drown you out long enough
I fell victim to the sound of your love
You're like a song that I ain't ready to stop
I got nothing but you on my mind
I'm not ready to be just another of your mistakes
Don't wanna let the pieces fall out of place
I was only just a breath removed from going to waste
Till I found salvation in the form of your...
Your grace
Your grace
Your grace
Don't take it away
Your grace
Your grace
Your grace
Don't take it away
On the verge of almost bleeding you out
Are we too wounded now to ever come down?
Oh, how I long for us to find common ground
I got nothing but you on my mind

Letters
FanfictionA letter is never ill-timed; it never interrupts. Instead it waits for us to find the opportune minute, the quiet moment to savor the message. There is an element of timelessness about letter writing. -Lois Wyse
