Bronwyn heard Tara perfectly, but kept playing and swaying.<br/>"Do ya still have the note?" she asked, just loud enough to be heard above the music.<br/>"No, I tossed it."<br/>"Do ya get notes like this often?"<br/>"No... you would think I do, but he doesn't usually work that way." There was no doubt which 'he' Tara was talking about.<br/>Bronwyn trailed the melody off to an end and glanced at Tara.<br/>"Don't look at me like that." Tara said defensively. "I don't know why I said anything. I can take care of myself, too, so don't get all 'gotta save the damsel in distress'. That shit drives me crazy."<br/>Bronwyn didn't comment on Tara's outburst, just shifted her position and began to play again.
