She hoped. Apparently mentally preparing her for it hadn't completely quelled the excitement, but at least she wasn't making an ass of herself about it.

"Well, can't say I'm not glad I can challenge y'all after so long in the bis," Marla said with another little laugh. "And Connor wouldn't do that," she added teasingly. Actually, from the little she'd talked to Connor, she could definitely see him doing just that.
Marla focused on John then, wondering if she could talk them all into doing some things with her for it. "It's original, yeah," she answered first, then nodded at the second question. "And yep, definitely gonna be recording that one. Almost got my list all worked out, but I'm still fine tunin' a few things for a couple songs."
