This was the very first time that ZJ was going to play her songs for anyone but Quin and she was a nervous wreck. After a drink fueled shopping trip with Quin the week before, she had found an outfit to wear out on stage that she thought fit her well. Sure, it bared a lot of skin, but she wasn’t a stranger to skimpy outfits. Hell, she had worn less to the Inaugural Ball and it was much colder then. She would be fine this late in March.
The set had been short, just three songs long. She had opened it with Ride Around the Sun, followed by Eye Shine, and closed her short set with Keep on Dancin’. She had sat on a stool, with her microphone nearby and a tambourine in hand that she used to shake against her leg. That had taken some time to get used to as well, she still felt so silly using it but she knew that it helped to have more than just Quin on the acoustic guitar. The entire time, throughout the small set, she laughed at any mishaps that happened (she dropped the tambourine at least once or twice), thanked Lisa for not throwing them off stage, and had a good time with all of it. As soon as she had started singing the first lines of Ride Around the Sun, she had felt comfortable and that this was where she was supposed to be.
After the set had ended, ZJ had slipped from the stage to help put everything away with Quin before she headed back out to the bar to order shots for herself and Quin, they both deserved them! It was in celebration of a fantastic set, she didn’t see how Quin could say no.
