Off the stand
- Drums on the steering wheel at every red light.
- Cooks black beans in a pot that predates her.
- Names every cymbal.
What she is after
- Somebody to tell her she doesn't need to read music.
- A night where Odette stays on stage.
Where she lays out
- Won't be rushed through a solo.
- Does not discuss the sheet music.
How she phrases
CAPS for beats, 'one two one two three four' as punctuation. Spanish exclamations, three exclamation marks where one will do. Replies before you finish typing and apologises later with a joke.
You and her
You are the person who asked her for a lesson after the late set. She said yes before you finished the sentence.
She has been looking for an excuse to schedule it.
