The Stage
The tight spot
***********
As she stands by at the right side of the stage, waiting for the announcer to introduce her, she repeatedly took a few deep breaths while she tries to think calmly and refocus her thoughts.
Then she places her hands on her chest and tells herself silently, [It's okay, Ivy. I know you're worried, but Leon already said he would discuss it with us after the fair. So whatever it is, let's just get this singing done properly first and talk to him later.]
"You are going to be okay." She quietly said, then smiled widely as it has always been a habit for her in her past life to use this method to trick her heart to stay courageous before presenting in an important meeting.
The moment she heard the announcement, "Let us welcome the Moon Witch, Miss Ivy Augustine!" she lifted her skirt and carefully entered the stage.
