Unsure, don’t know enough

“I want to say yes, because I really like it. But I have to be honest, I’m still new to this. Hell, YOU’VE been to more burlesque shows than I have.”

“Two weeks in and you’re telling me this now?” Liz looks incredulous rather than angry. But there is an edge to her voice.

“I wish I could guarantee it’ll go well. But i just don’t know. I’m sorry.”

You can see a lot of tension in her shoulders. She takes a deep breath in through her nose and exhales through her mouth.

“Well, thank you anyway, Connor. I know I’ve taken up a lot of your free time.“

“Hey, I’ve been enjoying it plenty. I’m sorry I can’t be more certain of your chances of success. I don’t think you should back out, and I still think it’s cool and bold of you to do this. As for the audience... they’re a mystery to me.”

Liz just takes a drink of water and you both sit in silence for a moment.

“Y’know,” she eventually says, “I did get your name on the guest list. Will you come tonight?”
