4 Hours till show time...

   "Lin" she called out, Phillipa stood on the stage.

    "I'm right here" he said, she turned and say him coming from behind the curtain.

    He admired how beautiful she looked, he too swayed gracefully around her torso and small straps layer perfect on her shoulders along with her dark gorgeous hair. Hat planted on her head, appropriate for summer in NYC.

"Here you are, black with two sugars" she said handing him the cup.

"Ah thank you Pip" he said taking a sip.

"Perfecto Mi hermoso pequeño pepino.." he said, she furrowed her brows.

"Your what?" She asked with a laugh.

"I'll tell you another time pepino" he said with a chuckle turning to the audience chairs.

He never told her that he called her his "beautiful small cucumber" for multiple reasons.

"This is crazy" she whispers subconsciously gripped her cup tighter.

"Yeah but so are we" he comments which makes her giggle.

   "Lin" she says, he looks at her.

   "Yes Betsey?" He replies, she looks down.

   "I want... a hug" she admitted, he chuckled walking over.

"Come here goofball" he said, she walked over and into his arms.

    She buried her head into his neck, he held her tight. He took off her hat and stroked her hair. She just hugged him tighter.

  "Are you going to be okay love?" He asked, she sighed.

"I'm just nervous, what if I end up like Ryan Grayson Elisyon" she says.

"Who?" He questioned. She chuckled sadly.

"Exactly" she responded, she tried to move away but he just pulled her back tighter.

    "I knew when I saw you as Natasha, you're a star" he whispered, she let a tear fall and smiled.

   "Thank you...Lin" she says, he smiles deciding the perfect thing to say.

    "Hey Pip, I love you" he says, she smiles.

    "I love you too"

  Neither of them knew that either truly meant it.
