Sebastian finished cleaning up the mess quickly, rinsing off the towel when Devon paused in her washing of Layla.

Devon finished soon after Sebastian did, and she lifted Layla up off the counter.
“I’m sorry about that, again. I didn’t think she would make such a mess,” she sighed, her cheeks tinged pink from embarrassment.
“Honestly, Devon, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it, okay?” Sebastian chuckled a little, reaching forwards to boop Layla’s nose.
Layla giggled and reached for Sebastian. “Bahstin!”
“Well… All right. If you’re sure,” Devon finally acquiesced, smiling at her daughter.
He gave both girls a grin, ruffling the smaller one’s hair. “I’m sure.”
Devon’s smile grew a little, and she kissed the top of Layla’s head. “So… Do you have any games?” she wondered after a moment.
Sebastian shook his head sheepishly. “No, sorry. Maybe we can….. honestly, I don’t own a lot of stuff. Sorry.”
Devon chuckled a bit and shifted Layla in her arms. “That’s okay. Maybe we could go for a walk?”
“Yeah, sure,” he agreed, happy to do whatever she wanted. “There’s a park nearby.”
“Sounds great,” Devon declared with a grin. “We could watch Layla play for a while, then.”
(Should we skip?)
(Sure. To his show?)
(Yeah sure
Are they just going to meet there?)
(I think that would be good.)
(Kk
I can start? Oh and I have no idea how you can be hired to do this stuff, I'm just improvising lmao)
(Lol. That's fine. I honestly don't either…)
(lol)
Sebastian could see the faint neon lights of the sign advertising the bar from a block away, beckoning to him. He stared down at his sweaty palms then wiped them hastily on his pants, telling himself not to be stupid, that he was going to do fine. Breathe, he reminded as he got closer, adjusting the strap of his guitar.
Devon walked up to the door of the bar and brushed her dress down with her hands nervously. Anything could happen tonight. She just hoped it wouldn’t be anything bad.
He caught sight of Devon up ahead, and sped up his pace. "Devon!"
Hearing her name, Devon spun around. The light pink skirt of her dress flared out a little, and she grinned at the sight of Sebastian. It was nice to see a familiar face in a very unfamiliar place.
“Sebastian! Hey. Are you excited to be playing tonight?” she asked, walking out to meet him halfway.
Sebastian closed his mouth before he could be accused of gaping at the sight of Devon, clearing his throat. "Nervous, but yeah. You– You look beautiful. I mean- You always do. But you know what I mean."
Devon blushed and smiled a little, moving a stray hair from out of her face. “Oh… Well, thanks… Um. You look nice, too,” she said with a nervous laugh.
"Thanks," he mumbled, cheeks blazing. After an awkward pause, he gestured towards the bar. "You ready?"
Devon let out a heavy sigh and glanced toward the door again. “As I’ll ever be,” she declared.
"Step out whenever you need to, alright?" Sebastian reached for her hand, then pulled back. "Can I- Can I hold you hand?"
