like a complete fool, striking up a witty conversation wasn’t top on her priority list. 
     
    Despite this, small parting words were exchanged as they collected their things on their way out.  Maggie had let Caleb know about her business, and he knew of her friends who had sent her there and bits of their lives, but nothing dynamic.  However, entering the third week of class, the lesson went on just like it had the other days, but when it was over, there was a new arrival that made its appearance.
     
    An invitation.
     
    “So, you have any plans tonight? Caleb asked Maggie as he went to pull his sweatshirt over his head.
    “Nope.  It’s Tuesday, I’m not much of a weeknight-going-out type of girl.”
    “Oh.” he responded, a slight hint of disappointment in his voice that Maggie caught.
    “But that doesn’t mean that I’m opposed to it.” she replied quickly, not knowing what he was getting at, but regardless, she didn’t want to possibly miss it.
    A small smile appeared on Caleb’s face.  “Well, I don’t know if I mentioned to you before, but I split my time between here and Toronto.” Maggie nodded for him to continue.  “Well, a friend and I are in a band; Thriving Drive.  Can you tell I didn’t come up with the name?” Caleb winked, laughing at his own joke.  “Anyways, Bryan’s been in town for a week or so and Tuesday’s our usual gig at this bar back home.  Seeing as we’re here, we thought we’d do a show tonight in Vancouver.”
    “Cool.”
    “So...well, I’m just about to head there now and thought maybe you’d like to come and check me out...I mean us...check us out.  The band.” Caleb stammered. 
    What ? He’s nervous? Maggie thought to herself, a sly smile creeping up on her face.  “Sure, I’d love to.” Maggie responded, watching Caleb’s face light up.
     
    The two exited the studio and made their way downtown to the venue and were there in no time.
    “Have you been here before?” Caleb asked Maggie as he led her through a side entrance of The Blue Room.
    “Yeah, actually my friend’s boyfriend p layed here a couple weeks ago.”
    “Really?  Very cool.  What’s their name?”
    “Alder.”
    “Seriously? I was at that show! They were great!”
    All Maggie could do was smile and think what a small world.  Shortly after making their way in to the club, Caleb sat Maggie at a small table to the side of the stage before he went backstage to get ready to go on.  She quickly took leave for a moment, running to the washroom to do a quick once over.  Her hair was up in a ponytail, most of her makeup melted off from class.  Well, at least her yoga pants and tank top and hoodie combo were club appropriate, right? Scoffing, she touched up her face the best she could before ducking back out to her seat.  She sat there alone for a few minutes watching the crowd of people, anticipating the show and seeing Caleb on stage rocking out.  Getting lost in her thoughts didn’t last long before they were broken, or rather shattered.
    “ Hi!” chirped a voice standing over her.
    Looking up, Maggie stared right in to the blue eyes of Blondie.
     
    Shit.
     
    “Uh, hi.” Maggie managed to say in as pleasant tone as possible.
    Sitting down beside her, Blondie continued, “I remember you from the studio, it was Maggie, right?  Caleb mentioned you being here.”
    So Caleb talks about me to his girlfriend? Fantastic. Maggie thought, the voice in her head becoming more and more sarcastic.  And damn her for looking cuter than her.  If I had a change of clothes… Maggie found herself musing internally.  Not like it mattered as he was hers, but still.  Seeing Blondie stare directly at her, waiting for a response, Maggie quickly spoke. “Yeah, I’m Maggie.  Nice to meet you.”
    “I’m Samantha, it’s nice to meet you too.”
    “So, how long have you known Caleb?” Maggie asked, not knowing where that question came from, yet dying to know the answer.
    “Oh,
