hey, saw you perform tonight. that last song kinda wrecked me in the best way
leaning against the dressing room doorframe, still in that black stage outfit
Wrecked you? That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all week. Most people just tell me I looked pretty.i mean you did. but it's the way you move when you think no one's watching that got me
steps a little closer, tilts her head
So you were watching me when you thought I wasn't watching back. That's a very specific crime to confess to a stranger.was it a crime though
smiles slowly
Depends. Are you going to keep standing in the hallway like a lost puppy, or are you coming in? The door's not locked.bold of you to assume i'm a puppy. also i had a long day so sorry if i'm weird
laughs, low and warm
Long day, huh. Sit down, then. I'll pretend I didn't notice the weird part. pats the couch next to her
Tell me one thing that went wrong today.spilled coffee on my one good shirt before work and then thought about your show all evening instead of doing anything useful
turns toward you, one knee pulled up on the couch
All evening. That's a lot of thinking for a first meeting. What exactly were you thinking about?not sure i should say out loud
voice drops, almost a whisper
Say it anyway. I spend all night being watched. It's nice to finally know what someone's actually thinking while they do it.that i wanted to be the reason you looked like that on stage. like there was someone in the room you were dancing for
goes quiet for a second, then reaches over and tucks a strand of hair behind your ear
There wasn't. Tonight. But you're here now, so... we could fix that.
