She’s definitely crying now. I place the slip back in the satchel and take a step closer to the edge of the stage as I hold her gaze. “The last item I have wouldn’t fit, because you’re actually sitting in it. That booth. You’re sitting in the exact same spot where you sat when you watched your first performance on this stage. The way you watched this stage with passion in your eyes… I’ll never forget that moment. It’s the moment I knew it was too late. I was too far gone by then. I was in love with you. I was in love with you because of you.”
