Chapter 78

Olivia and her group found a busy little square in town to perform. While they attracted a decent crowd, few people tipped after the performance.

They managed to collect just over fifty dollars, largely due to Justin, the seasoned actor. Olivia counted the money in the box, feeling disappointed. She had expected to earn more from their street performance, but they only got fifty bucks.

Justin sensed that Olivia was putting on a brave face but was actually feeling quite down. He comforted her, "Actually, earning this much isn't bad at all."

"Olivia, your guitar playing was excellent. I saw people really enjoying it," he added. "But this is a small, remote town. Most people don't know us and aren't used to tipping for performances."

He smiled and said, "Next time, we'll try to earn more."
