After practice, Dan and Val were still debating which song to choose for the main act at the festival, while you and Dominic slouched side by side at the bar. After finishing the vocal distribution, Dominic was about to close his laptop when you noticed something on the screen.

"Wait, hold up—what's that—"

Dominic froze, his eyes widening slightly before he muttered, "Shit—" and quickly closed the laptop.

"Wait—are you writing a song?!"

A sheepish look crossed his face as he let out a conflicted sigh. "It's nothing.. I've been stuck on it for a while. Haven't even decided on a title."

"Okay woman of taste, which one more to your liking?" he asked, amused.

"Oh uh.. I just see pink classic cars and I'll love them," you teased, not moving your fascination from his unique cars. Dominic laughed, but you're not finished, "But I love when they have cute shapes—like.. more rounded or.. very pointed—"

"The '60s and the '70s then," he interjected with a flare of a pro.
