SCENE OPENS to Scarlet (Dixie Lynn) working as a barista in a cafe. As she chats with another barista, Charlene, Scarlet tells her that she's fascinated by a college guy named Gray (Tyler Nixon) who is currently performing at the cafe, as he does every open mic night. Gray finishes his performance and starts packing up his equipment. Scarlet runs up to Gray as he descends from the stage, gushing to him about his amazing performance that night. Gray looks her up and down, and his smile widens, indicating that he likes what he sees. Gray exaggerates his accomplishments, claiming that he has an album, and saying that he has a lot of other projects in the works, and is collaborating with some very exciting people. Scarlet eats it all up.
