Cassie is very much riding a musical-shaped thrill right now. It's just what music does to her. It's been an early love in her life, and musical talent runs through her family. It's probably one of the biggest parts of her as a person.

The occasional open mic at The Crowbar was something she went to every chance she got. She's gonna miss that place something awful now Chicago's gone. And everything else in Chicago. Two homes she's lost, never to go back to. "But I busked a lot, which I loved."

She laughs, grinning wildly. "So at least I'm not too rusty, huh?"
