Cadence smiled at the newcomer. It was refreshing to see someone who didn’t know who she was off the bat. The woman seemed to be her age, so she fit into the gap of people who may have listened to her music, but at the same time not. She tended to attract a slightly younger crowd though.

First introduce yourself and offer your hand if you’re comfortable. ”My name is Candence.” she offered the woman her hand.
