[Ann's noticed that they seem to be pretty close in age— it does make her wonder, but then again, a lot of singers start really young, don't they?]

I definitely will— maybe once we're all feeling a little better and there are fewer runny noses to go around, if you guys don't run into each other before then. This place isn't that big, after all!

[She listens with interest, however, nodding along as Sheryl explains.]

Makes sense. Once you get started, though— once you're singing, do you just forget about how nervous you were? Lose yourself in the music?

[She might be romanticizing this a little, although she pauses when she sees Sheryl looking her over thoroughly. She smiles sheepishly in reply, her cheeks flushing just a little bit. She's used to compliments, but she's not great at handling them gracefully, and to hear it from a professional...]

Thanks. I'm not sure if I'll take it pro, but it has been a lot of fun.
