She gave me her guitar.

...Forever.

I do think that's what gifts are for, yes. Forever. :)

It's... I'm not used to that.

You're not? Why?

I... don't usually get gifts...

Oh.

*chews lip a little* Do you know any songs?

Evel - um... Mom... is teaching me a song called Layla.

Oh my gosh, that's one of my favourites. My name rhymes with Layla, and my father often swaps it out with mine when we sing it.

Really? ...what's your name?

I'm Shayla. What's your name?

Um... Jack. Jack Mercer. I guess.

My, that's a coincidence. My beau is named Jack Mercer.

What's a... beau?

Bit of an old-fashioned term for boyfriend. But I like it, so I use it. :)

It sounds kinda cool.
