The next morning.

"Jess?"

"Yeah, babe?"

"Are you really straddling Danny today?"

"Sarah, I was kidding!  I'm literally only hugging him!  The sexy stuff was last year, there really isn't much this season.. Unfortunately."

"Jessica!"

"I'm playing!!"

"Will you be wearing that sexy outfit with him?"

"No, babe.  I'm not wearing anything-"

"WHAT?!"

"Let me finish!  I'm not wearing anything SEXY!  Now, I have to go.  You have a nice day, honey." Jessica kisses her cheek.

"Okay.. You too.
And you tell him that your WIFE SAYS HI!"

"I will!" Jessica laughs.

Jessica's hair and makeup were done and she was grabbing a cup coffee of before needing to be on set.

"Hey Jess!"

Jessica turned and smiled. "Danny!  Hi!  How have you been?"

"Pretty good!  Congratulations on the baby!" He smiles.

"Oh thank you!  He's adorable!" Jessica's smile instantly becomes bigger and brighter.

"You're a mom of three, come on, I know you have pictures!"

"I do!" Jessica laughs and takes her phone out.

"Here are the twins.  They're eight now-"

"Eight?!" His eyes widen.

"I know!" Jessica pouts. "My babies are so big!"

"They look just like you." He smiles.

"Thank you." Jessica replies with a soft smile.

"And here's the baby.  His name's Dylan, he's four months old."

"Oh what a little stud." He chuckles.

"I know!  He's Sarah's twin!"

Danny smiles, "How is Sarah?"

"She's doing well!"

"That's good.. So!  Did you want to talk about how we're going to go into this?"

"No, I think I'll just wing it." Jessica smiles.

"Oh right!  You're not a planner, are you?" Danny smiles.

"Nope."

"I think that's great.  You're one of my favorites to work with because of that reason."

"Really?  That's nice." Jessica giggles.

Danny chuckles then reaches down to the table beside her.  He grabs a banana then gives her a smile. "I'll see you soon."

"Okay." Jessica smiles softly.

"Scheisse!" Elsa shouted into the wing of the stage.

She then looked straight ahead and saw a tall man in a suit and hat.  At first it was just his silhouette, but she could still recognize him anywhere.
The man stopped when he saw Elsa, then continued.
It's been years since he's been this close to her, and for a second their worlds completely stopped.
The two walked closer to each other, both feeling as if no time has passed.

Elsa's mouth hung slightly open, and her eyes were wide.  She nervously crossed her arms, then messed with her hair, wanting to look her best when they met for the first time in a while.

The man was Massimo Dolcefino.
Massimo lowers his head, and removes his hat.

Elsa's breathing became heavier as she felt a knot in her throat.

"Elsa." Massimo spoke.

Elsa lifted her hands to hug Massimo.
She looked down nervously as her hands moved as though she had no control over them
Massimo lifted his arm and moved it towards her waist.  Elsa then fought whatever inside of her that was fighting the hug, she threw her arms around Massimo's neck forcefully, clinging onto him and never wanting to let go.

Massimo held her tiny waist as she held onto him for dear life.

"Oh.
You came." Elsa spoke in a whisper.

"Of course." Massimo's voice was deep and gravelly.

"CUT!  Amazing!"

Jessica immediately dropped her arms, but danny took a second longer to let go of her.

Jessica looked down, but Danny couldn't take his eyes off of her.

"That was good." He smiles awkwardly.

"Thanks." Jessica chuckles.

Danny's smile fades as Jessica starts to walk away from him.

"Why didn't you tell her how you felt ten years ago when you knew she was in a bad relationship?  How could you be so stupid?
..She'll always be the one.. The one that got away.."
