Josie approached the group a little more reserved than her usual self. She forced a small wave as she was being introduced to the rest of the group. It wasn’t like Josie to get nervous but something about meeting her new boyfriend's friends made her feel uncomfortable. She felt like she was an outside force pushing in on what was a close group of friends.

“It’s super nice to meet you all.” Josie gave a large smile towards the group. “Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I brought some beer, it’s really popular from where I’m from.” She lifted up on of her hands to show a six pack of New Glarus’s Spotted Cow. “It was hard to come by here so please enjoy it.” Josie handed it to the nearest person in the group and nodded approvingly for the rest of the group to try it. 

She looked back at Charlie after clearing on of her hands. “Could you please put my bag in the tent?” Josie looked at Charlie with a pleading face, as she reached out her bag to him. 

As she leaned back from handing off her bag she looked over towards one of the girls, she did not seem that interested in meeting Josie at first. “Kaylee, right?” Josie gestured toward the girl in the red bikini. “I really like your tattoo. It looks cool.” Everyone loves being complimented on their tattoos or at least it could get a conversation started. 

“Could I ask why music notes?”
