Six Sentence Sunday #26

In today’s excerpt, Neal’s been called up to the front of the crowd gathered for Sandy and Sophie’s wedding to perform a song as a gift to the couple. He’s nervous about playing in front of his best friend (Sandy, who taught him to play drums) and the A-list celebrities in the crowd. Neal’s also dealing with unresolved feelings for Sophie. He’s seated himself on the keyboard bench with his acoustic guitar, named Lucita, and addresses himself to the bride and groom.

“You guys defy description in either English or Spanish, so this will fall short, but here goes. I wrote the lyrics and Eric helped with the music. He also helped me record this properly for ya.”

“Aww, so sweet.” Sophie’s purry voice was just loud enough to hear.

He adjusted himself on the bench, adjusted Lucita, and paid close attention to how he moved his fingers on the opening chord.
