Chapter 39 Must Be Nice
It was her. The interesting lady he had met on the roof.
Timothy stopped and stared. The woman’s drawl was ringing out throughout the bar, and she was singing a popular blues song
called “Pretty and Young“.
She sat there on a stool with the spotlight on her beautiful face, swaying as her red lips sang a song that took the audience on a
nostalgic journey.
As Timothy listened, he remembered seeing Grace crying on the roof.
That night, her teary eyes had added a touch of sadness to her beauty, a look that could break many hearts. Timothy didn’t
realize how much he was staring.
His thoughts got further and further away from him.
Meanwhile, Emily yelled from beneath the stage. “That’s too sad, babe! I’m about to cry! Put on something happier!”
Grace winked at her best friend. “No problem, I’m on it.” After that, she began singing “Party in the House“.
As she sang, she smiled cheerfully, and her feet danced to the beat. It made her look as cheeky as the lyrics sounded.
The song itself was carefree and made people dance to the melody, so it was very wholesome and joyful. The entire audience
sang along happily, creating a lively atmosphere.
Timothy was once again taken to the streets of Frenda. He could almost see himself holding Grace’s hand as they walked.

He was completely smitten.
He had never seen a woman so unpredictable and so beautiful that he was shaken to the core.
There was a voice in his head going, “This is it, Timothy! She’s the one!
. “That’s the goddess you fell in love with at first sight! The one who shone so brightly! It
would be so great if you got together with her!”
When the song ended, everyone clapped for Grace.
Emily cheered, “You’re awesome, babe!” Even Zoey was clapping with a smile instead of looking emotionless as usual.
Timothy cleared his lovesick expression and made sure there was nothing wrong with his appearance before going over to say
hi.
