Friday.
I've been nervously waiting for today, excited but mostly scared.
I talked to my dad about this whole thing and he seemed like he was on board.
"If this is what you want to do, then I will be there to support you every step of the way," he had told me.
And this is what I want to do.
"Excited?" Liz asked as she drove me to the studio.
"Obviously. Kind of scared though," I admitted.
"You'll be fine. Just be yourself. Obviously he likes that," she said, and I shrugged.
"I don't know, Liz. It's all...different, I guess," I replied.
"Different?"
"Yeah. He's famous and I'm just...me," I said.
"I think you're worrying too much. If he didn't like you he wouldn't have asked you to do this. Just go with the flow, Margot," she told me with a smile.
"Alright," I replied, forcing a small smile.
We arrived at the studio and I followed Liz inside. Miles was standing behind the front desk, not the older woman who usually did it.
But he wasn't the one who caught my eye.
The other person had his back to us, seemingly laughing with Miles. Friends? Weird.
Both of them turned towards Liz and I as we walked in.
"Hey Margot Kate," Shawn said as he approached me, his signature smile on his face.
"Hi," I replied.
"Well, I'm going to find Dad. Have fun," Liz said, patting my shoulder before walking down the hall.
"And that was...?" Shawn asked.
"Liz. My older sister," I explained.
"Seems like she's cool," he said.
"Eh," I replied with a shrug.
"Ready to go?" he asked me.
"Go?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Sing, stupid," he said.
"Wow, ok. Then yes, I am ready," I replied, and he smiled.
"I'm sorry for calling you stupid. Let's go," he said, holding his hand out to me. I looked down at it suspiciously, then back him.
"Margot, we're a duo now. Take my freaking hand and let's go," he told me.
I just looked at him for a moment.
"You have got to be the strangest person I have ever met," I said, shaking my head.
"But like, the good kind of strange?" he asked with a smirk.
"Like the cute, quirky boy-next-door kind of strange," I said, and we both laughed.
And then I took his hand.

"So you think it was good?" I asked hopefully as I took the headphones off.
