She looked up and had the panic look still in her eyes. "One day? Are you kidding me? We only have one day to record this song. De you might be able to do that but I've never done this before and I'm not sure my voice is...

Suge voice sounded over to the two. Swing? Are we going to do this or not?"
The teen brought up her eyes and looked into his hazel ones that were only inches away from her own. His eyes were encouraging her to go through with this. They were almost pleading with her. They were also telling her that she really could do this if she put her mind to it. Most notably she could tell that he believed in her.
