Joshua heard a car pull up in his driveway as he looked out the window. He saw Olivia wave goodbye to her mom before hurrying across the street with her bag over her head as an attempt to avoid getting wet by the rain; it didn't seem to work when she walked into his house dripping on the welcome mat.

"Hey, sorry, I don't want to get the floor wet," Olivia apologized as she shut the front door behind her, wiping her wet shoes on the mat.

"No worries, I can always clean up after," Joshua replied with a small laugh. "I'll just grab a towel and you can sit on it on the couch, and we can get to work."

"Sounds good," Olivia smiled as she headed towards the living room. She waited for Joshua to come back from the closet with a towel, which she laid out on the couch and sat down.

"You want anything to drink?" Joshua asked. "I'm gonna grab some water."

"Sure, I'll take water, too," Olivia nodded, pulling a pen and her songbook out of her bag, which was thankfully not wet.

Joshua returned with two bottles of water, placing one down on the coffee table in front of her as he sat on the couch adjacent to her with his guitar leaning against it. "Did you add or think of anything since the last time we worked together on set?"

"I thought of a couple of verses, but not much besides that. You?"

"I thought of some chords and such for the chorus, I can play it for you now, if you want."

"Heck yeah, go for it," Olivia rested her chin in her palms as he strummed and hummed along. She felt almost entranced watching him in his natural, song-writing element; it was almost enchanting, in a way.

"Liv? Earth to Liv?" Joshua waved in front of her face, snapping her out of her daydream.

"Hmm? Yeah? Oh, sorry, um, what did you say?"

"I asked what you thought of it."

"Oh! Yeah, it was... absolutely amazing, Joshy, I loved it!"

"Yeah?" Joshua raised his eyebrows with a smile growing on his face. "So, we can use this as the chorus?"

"Of course! Just gotta come up with some lyrics, have any in mind?"
