“I just don’t think it fits,” Misty whispered to me.

“I know.” I scratched my head. “I’ll take care of it.”

She nodded, but she expressed her lack of confidence in my people skills in the way she scrunched her nose at me.

Though I handed Betty full rein of all musical aspects of the production, I now regretted that decision the way one regrets wearing suede in a rainstorm. I had expected Christmas classics to be sung intermittently throughout the production: “The First Noel,” “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “Silent Night.”

I had not expected ‘N Sync’s 1998 Christmas album. Apparently, we had different interpretations of the term modern.

I approached her with caution. “Um, Betty?”

She pounded away on the piano, not hearing me.

“Betty?” I tried again.

More pounding.

I tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped, her sheet music falling to the ground.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” I knelt down and gathered up the pages, cringing at the titles.

“Were you trying to get my attention?” Betty asked sweetly.

“Yes, actually. Can we talk for a moment, please?”

“Right now? We’re just about to start ‘Kiss Me at Midnight.’ ”

“Yeah . . . I think we should probably talk before that.”
