Backstage at the concert venue in Antwerp, Belgium, Inara was in the midst of her pre-show preparations. The room was a whirlwind of activity, with her team bustling around her, finalizing last-minute details and making sure everything was set for the night's performance. Inara sat at her dressing table, surrounded by an array of makeup, hair products, and her stage outfits.

She was applying the final touches of her makeup, her concentration focused but her mood light and upbeat.  As she meticulously worked on her eyeliner, her phone buzzed with a FaceTime call. Smiling, she reached for her phone and answered, instantly bringing Ava's familiar face onto the screen.

"Hey, gorgeous!" Ava's voice was warm and cheerful, bringing a sense of calm to Inara amidst the pre-show chaos.

"Hey!" Inara replied, her smile widening. "I'm just getting ready for the show. How's everything back home?"

Ava's face was illuminated by the soft glow of her phone screen, her eyes sparkling with affection. "Everything's good here. I just wanted to call and see how you're doing before the show. How's Antwerp treating you?"

Inara laughed softly as she dabbed some lipstick on. "It's amazing here. The crowd is so excited, and the city is beautiful. I'm just trying to focus and make sure everything is perfect for tonight."

Ava watched as Inara continued with her preparations, her pride evident. "You look great. I'm sure the show is going to be fantastic. I wish I could be there to see it."

"I wish you could be here too," Inara said, her tone a mix of longing and appreciation. "But I know you're cheering me on from afar, and that means the world to me."

The two chatted about their day, shared anecdotes, and exchanged playful banter. Inara's team occasionally peeked in to offer her touch-ups or updates, but she kept her focus on Ava, enjoying their shared moments even across the distance.

As Inara's hair was being styled, she took the opportunity to show Ava the backstage area, giving her a virtual tour of where all the magic was happening. "This is where I'll be performing tonight," she said, pointing to the stage area through a nearby door. "I'm so excited to get out there."

Ava beamed at the glimpse into Inara's world. "It looks amazing. I can't wait to hear all about it and see the photos. I know you're going to kill it out there."

"Thanks, love," Inara replied, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Your support means everything to me. I'll make sure to tell you all about it after the show."

As the clock ticked closer to showtime, Inara's team gave her the final go-ahead. She gave Ava one last smile before reluctantly ending the call. "I've got to get ready to go on stage now. I'll talk to you as soon as the show's over. I Love you."

"I Love you too," Ava said, her voice filled with warmth. "Break a leg out there. I know you'll be amazing."

With a final wave, Inara hung up and prepared to take the stage. She took a deep breath, feeling the blend of excitement and nerves that always accompanied her performances. As she walked towards the stage entrance, she felt a renewed sense of confidence, bolstered by Ava's encouraging words and the support she felt from home.

As Inara's show in Antwerp approached, Scarlett and Ava decided to send her a few encouraging texts to boost her spirits.

Scarlett: "Hey Inara! Just wanted to drop a quick message before your show. I know you're going to rock it tonight. Can't wait to hear all about it later! Break a leg! 🌟💖"
