prologue {last show of the 'Emails I Can't Send Tour'}
"Thank you so much LA!" Nora Winslow's strong voice rang through the stadium where she was performing. "It has been a honor to perform for you!"
The crowd eurputed into cheers, making the girl on stage smile.
"How about we sing one final song together?"
Louder cheers met her ears, making Nora's smile grow as she prepared to sing the final song of the show which wrapped up the Emails I Can't Send Tour.
"What do you think about that, LA?"
Cheers. Loud cheers that made Nora love performing. This was what it was all about.
From the first few words of the song, the crowd knew exactly what she was singing, and erupted into the loudest applause of the night.
"When I love you, I'm sweet like and angel Drawing hearts 'round our names and dreaming of writing vows, rocking cradles."
This was a Nora Winslow unreleased song that had been floating around for 2 years at this point. It was a fan-favorite and Nora knew it.
"Don't mistake my nice for naive" she continued to sing, "I don't waste a second, I know lots of guys, you do something as cute as bye-bye," the crowd sung the lyrics back at her, making Nora smile as they reached the chorus.
"Sing it!" Nora pointed the microphone at the crowd and they sang "oh it's not that complicated you should stay in my good graces!"
"Or I'll switch it up like that, so fast," Nora sang into the microphone again, "cause no one's more amazing, at turning loving into hatred."

"You did so well!" Lando ran towards Nora, catching her in a hug.
"Ew! You're all sweaty!" Lando complained, Nora rolling her eyes, "yeah no shit, I just finished performing, and you can't talk, you're an F1 driver."
Lando and Nora had been best friends since they were children. Lando and Nora's mothers were best friends, so as kids, they had a lot of time to hang out together.
Nora's father had taken them to F1 races too. At every race, Nora saw Lando's eyes widen everytime he caught a glimpse of a car or driver. Now, both best friends were successful, Lando in Formula 1 and Nora in music.
As the friends walked back to Nora's dressing room, Lando rambled about how well she did, "I'm surprised you performed Good Graces though," Lando said, "I though you weren't going to tease a new album until it was almost done."
"I was thinking about doing that, but I changed my mind last minute," Nora replied, opening her dressing room door and letting Lando in.
Lando jumped onto the couch in her room, making himself comfortable as he said, "I'm not complaining, I like that song, I just wasn't expecting it."
Nora sat town at the vanity in the room, beginning to remove her makeup.
"You wanna do something after this?" Nora asked, surprisingly feeling energized
"Sure, if you're not too tired," Lando agreed, "I'm down."
Once Nora has removed her performance makeup, putting on some conceale, mascara, snd lipgloss.
"Yeah, I feel great, I just need to relax a bit and let loose."
Nodding, Lando watched as Nora walked over to her closet.
"How is writing for the new album?" he asked as Nora pulled out a pair of baggy jeans and a crop top.
"It's going nowhere," Nora groaned, "I have Good Graces and a few others, but I want at least 15 songs for my next album, not 4."
Lando is silent while Nora gets changed behind the divider, thinking to himself.
When she's done, he stand from the couch, "you should go to a few of my races," Lando suggests, "it would get your mind off of your work and allow you get let loose,"
Nora looked hesitant, "I need to work, this album needs to be perfect, and I can't do that if I'm not focused on my music."
"Yes, but you said it isn't really coming together, so treat this as a well deserved vacation that can recharge your brain so when you go back to writing, you'll have a fresh start."
Nora thought about it for a second, the idea sounded tempting.
"Plus," Lando added, "you can see Max again."
"Max!" Nora exclaimed, smiling at the thought, "that would be fun."
Lando knew he had convinced her when she said, "and I could also see Carlos and Oscar again..."
"Exactly, it would be a good way to get your mind off of work."
"Fine," Nora smiled, coming out from behind the divider, changed into the new clothes, "ready to get going?"
"Yeah," Lando stood, putting his arm around Nora as they walk out of the door.
