My hands were shaking so badly that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to play. All of my preparations, everything I'd been working for... it all led to this. This one night would tell me if what I hoped for would come. Rolling my neck, I wiggled my arms and tried to release the tension in my body before I emerged. A female voice came overhead, floating through the auditorium as she announced my name. The sounds in the auditorium grew to a slightly louder buzz, applause sounding and chatter picking up.
My feet carried me closer to the curtain. I stopped, smiling at Professor Banner as he held out his hand to shake. He clapped me on the shoulder, wishing me good luck.
