A dark room now filled with light as the New York City sunrise shines through the blinds of this apartment building.
A person shifts on the bed searching for their small dog named Scampi who hopefully did not fall off the bed in the middle of the night.
"Scampi, where are you boy?" a familiar voice whispers looking for her dog
The small dog wakes up from the edge of the bed with its cute little tongue sticking out.
He runs to its owner the amazing Samantha Pauly
"How was your night boy?" she says in a playful baby voice while he talks to her small little Scampi
She gets out of bed and checks on her older dog Dale a greyhound who was sleeping in his bed.
" Hi buddy !" she says startling the dog a little
"Are you ready to go for a walk with Scampi?" she says as she walks to get the dogs leashes to talk a walk with her dogs early in the morning
She headed out of her apartment and takes her dogs on a walk as usual but today doesn't feel usual .
She gets back to her apartment where she feels a little bit off. The signs of sickness are clear but she's choosing to ignore them and go through another day.
*Phone buzzes*
Noah Ricketts her costar and absolute one of the loves of her life messages her.
Noah -
So do you think i should get this for breakfast?
I low-key am sick of it but I just worked out...
Actually never mind I can figure it out
Sam-
Why do you message me like that!
You start conversations about topics I am clueless about.
Noah-
Um keep up?
Sam-
😐
* end of conversation *
Noah always had a special bond with Sam ever since they became friends preparing the play Love Interests in they're show on broadway The Great Gatsby.
Noah plays Nick Caraway and Sam plays Jordan Baker .
Sam gets ready to go through another day of belting her heart out at 2pm on a Sunday.
Sam gets to the Broadway Theatre where she signs in and heads to her dressing room but not before saying hi to stage managers or practically anyone she sees on her way to her room.
"Hi everyone ! Hope everyone is having a great day let's have a great show shall we ?" she says in a happy tone as she walks down the hallway to her dressing room.
She walks in her dressing room and finally lets her guard down.
"Well Sam it's time to lock in and get through this day" she says looking in the mirror preparing herself for this 2 show day
Sam hasn't been feeling 100% since opening she often struggles with her breathing and often finds herself exhausted after her big number "New Money".
*Knock Knock*
"Who is it ?" she yells as she settles her stuff by her couch
"It's Jeremy. Can I come in?" he asks in his Jay Gatsby voice
Sam amused by his silly voice she allows him to enter her dressing room .
