As I drive the trio back to their hotel, I sense Chelle’s stiffness return. She warmed up by the end of the show, not just to me, but to the guys and the band.
The Storytellers never put on a better show, and Chelle’s skateboarding stars loved it. Whether it was the alcohol talking, or the fact that Flynn recognized them, and they felt famous, I couldn’t be sure, but they mingled during the band’s break, and by the time Rue’s closed for the night, Chelle was brokering their drunken promises to use the Storyteller’s music on their Youtube videos in some kind of collaboration
Guessing at her anxiety now that the night’s almost over, I play ambassador.
“So are you guys going to sign on with Chelle and her boss, or were you just dicking her around tonight?”
A couple of the guys
