Me and the band are brainstorming music, playing around with a few things when my phone vibrates. It's a text from a number that I do not have saved. I open the message and read it. Jago looks over my shoulder and reads it with me.

"What is it?" Jono asks from across the room. 

"Someone is asking us to be our band and tour manager?" I reply, a bit puzzled until I read Wilbur's name. 

"How did they know we needed one??" Lou asks, also confused.

"Oh, Wilbur told them to text I guess," Jago replies.

"What should I say??" I ask, looking around the room.

"Ask to have a meeting with them! And where they are." Sam chimes in. I nod and start typing a reply.

TEXTING WITH ###-###-####


Hello, James Marriott. My name is Valentina Amulet and
I'm a tour manager who is currently looking for a job,
and your friend Wilbur said you were looking for one?
Would love to maybe set something up if you're alright
with it. Please let me know! Thank you :)

Hey! Yeah me and my band are looking for a manager,
are you willing to meet up? We are based in Brighton so
maybe something around our area? If you're down for it!

Yeah, that's great! I also am based in Brighton so
that makes it a lot easier. Maybe we could meet up
at the coffee shop on Melody Street? My best friend
and I own it, so it would probably be easy.

I smile as I send the final text. The band had continued experimenting with things while I was texting them. I go to their number and add a contact. Valentina.

I'm smiling as Astral and I walk out of the shop, heading home.

"What happened?" Her eyebrows are raised. "Didn't that guy say he already got a manager?" They question.

"Yeah, but he gave me his friend's contact info and we're gonna meet here at noon tomorrow!!" I am giddy with excitement. My dream job might be coming true.
