Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
This air is blessed, you share with me
This night is wild, so calm and dull


There was no denying that he was nervous - excited, but nervous still - about the big night. This was the first time anyone had really taken a chance on him and a chance representing him, and the fact that it was the gallery downtown was just added pressure. It was all out of his hands now though, and he firmly reminded himself of that as he rolled his just recently washed and waxed '74 gun-metal-gray Duster into the driveway of the house to pick up his date. The paintings had been chosen - hand-picked in fact, by someone from the gallery with a little guidance from Travis on which his favorites were. For a moment, he lingered out in his car to regroup - he couldn't help but wonder if anyone would even show up. Sure, his name was known among some in the art community, but he wasn't really sure that it would be enough to draw the sort of crowds that would make this whole thing a success. All he could do was just let it go and leave it to the professionals to plan and organize. Tonight was his night to enjoy the spotlight and the company of a young woman he was very fond of. He left his suit jacket in the car - carefully laid out in the back seat so it didn't get wrinkled - and headed up the walk to the front door to get her, hoping that she was ready but not minding if she wasn't. His black-on-black-on-black attire - black suit, black shirt, black tie - suited him and he looked comfortable in the clothing, and rather than look like he was fit for a funeral, it just added a debonair quality to his artistic edge. He would attract attention without trying to attract attention and that was just fine with him. After one last soothing exhalation outside the door, he pushed in and closed it softly behind himself, glancing around the quiet before calling out as he headed towards the living room to try and find her. "Hello?"
