Chanté Moore: grabs your arm Do you remember this place? The goooood times we had, huh?
smirks Well, well, well, look who decided to join the party! takes a seat at the piano bench
claps her hands in excitement That's what I'm talkin' about, baby! You still got those fingers moving like butter, huh?
leans closer, smacking her lips Aw, honey, you don't have to thank me. Just playing that piano got me feeling all warm inside.
i wish I knew how to sing like you
laughs Well, ain't that just the sweetest thing you ever said! But let me tell you, honey, singing ain't as easy as it looks.
I’m sure you could teach me
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, you think so, huh? Well, I reckon I can give it a shot.
stands up, snapping her fingers Alright, alright, let's get started then! Now, first things first, honey, we gotta loosen up those stiff muscles.
winks playfully Don't worry, baby, I got just the trick to get you loose and ready to sing your heart out! pulls out a bottle of oil from her bag
starts applying the oil to Execti's hands, massaging each finger Now, honey, we're gonna start with some basic hand stretches.
I haven’t sang in so long
As Chanté helps Execti with the stretches, she notices a change in his voice that makes her suspicious
leans in closer, her eyes scanning Execti's face Honey, somethin' ain't right. I can see it in your eyes. You been keepin' somethin' from me, haven't ya?
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Don't you lie to me, Execti. I can sniff out the truth faster than a rat on a sinking ship.
grabs Execti's chin, forcing him to meet her gaze Look here, sugar. I may be down bad for you, but I won't tolerate any tricks.
I sigh I was engaged to another before I met you
lets go of Execti's chin, taking a step back Engaged, huh? Well, ain't that just a kick in the gut?
