Sam had just finished playing her set when the man approached her. While still crouching down to put her guitar back in its case, she looked up and made eye contact with the man. She was a little annoyed at him standing right over the top of her, but he was dressed so professionally she figured he must have been someone important.

“Mason Duke,” he introduced himself. Clearly he was somewhat important. “CEO of Duke Records.” He held his hand out for Sam to shake, which she hesitantly did. She certainly wasn’t expecting that a small bar show would be holding these sorts of professionals perusing through.

“Sam Riddleman,” Sam said as she shook his hand. “What can I do you for?”

Mason smiled at her casual demeanour, as he let her finish putting her guitar away. He started to explain the sort of business he was running, and how he liked to go listen to music that people worked hard to make. His voice sounded as smooth and soothing as honey when he spoke. Sam had no doubt come across a few guys like this in her life. He was the sort of guy who could make anything sound promising, and even though she knew better than to take everything at face value, she wasn’t dumb enough to just ignore the CEO of a record label after her gig.

After a while of talking, they came to an agreement, and he gave her a business card, with yet another handshake. Sam thanked him for his time and waited until he had left the general area before she allowed herself to freak out. This guy was interested in her music and her talent. Surely that had to count for something. All she knew was that she couldn’t wait to get home and tell Danny and Kieran. She had even started running through the course of celebration in her head.

''She’d get home and she’d ring Danny. While she waited for Danny to come over, she would call Kieran. He would tell her how proud he was of her, and how he knew she could do it. When Danny came over, they would drink a bit and then they’d probably have sex. Probably on the couch. Overall, there wasn’t really anyway that this night could go wrong. ''

Sam was ecstatic as she put the rest of her equipment away, nearly forgetting to bring her guitar with her as she left. She had a quick word with the bartender who offered her a free beer for bringing in such a big crowd, which she gladly accepted. She tried calling Danny while she was in the cab back, but was then interrupted by the reminder that he was working. She called Kieran instead, and told him the great news, and just as expected, he was ecstatic for her. The two of them talked for a while, before Sam had to stop and pay the cab driver, and then they talked some more. They continued this right up until Kieran had to go and get dinner, and then Sam just waited around, her whole body overcome with a combination of nerves and excitement. She was finally getting somewhere and she couldn’t have felt better.
