Twitch arrived at the theater and went through the backstage door. "Helloo, Lindsay." Said Medda
"Hey." She said, "Hey, Jack."
"Hey, baby." He kissed her, "You're a bit late, you ok?"
"I was talking with my uncle. When does the show start?"
"Medda, you're on!" Said the stage manager
"I am? How am I doing?" She laughed at her own joke, "I guess it's right now. You two enjoy."
Medda came backstage after the show was done. "That was great, Medda." Said Twitch
"Thank you, Lindsay. Now, I have business to attend to, so you two have a nice night. Be careful going home." She said
Jack and Twitch walked out. "Follow me." He said
They walked to Jacobi's restaurant. "Hungry?"
"Yeah." She said, "And my back is killing me, I have heartburn in my knees, I-"
"Ok, ok. Come on. I've been saving money, we can actually eat here for once."
They went inside and sat down. "Ah, my favorite water drinkers." Said Jacobi, "Or are you actually getting food?"
"We are getting food, my friend." Jack said
"Then I'll give you a minute."
There was only one other person there, some old guy. But apart from that, the place was empty. After a while, they got their food. They both ordered a bacon sandwich, since it was the cheapest thing on the menu. "Lindsay." Jack said
"Yeah?"
"We've been dating for a while, and- this isn't normal for me to say, but- I think I love you."
She almost spit out her drink. She swallowed. "Really?" She asked
"Yeah."
"I love you too, Jack." She said
And for the first time in a long time, Lindsay was still.
