I just haven't seen one, so I guess I will try.
You were just a 25 year old woman, in NY trying to make it. You work at a coffee shop not too far away from the theater. And you get a call...
I walk out into the front and see my friend Maria, who also works at the The coffee shop. She says quite loudly "look who it is, Sleeping Beauty !"
"Hey Maria, It has been the best day, I just needed a second. Don't do that."
"Why has it been so great, did you have rehearsal?" I am slowly remembering that I didn't share with Ava or Maria yesterday that Hamilton was the new play I was cast for, but just that I had a callback just in case I got there and Lin changed his mind upon seeing who I was.
But now that it's official and I have a date, I guess it a good time to spread the news.
"Yea, guys I have a date with one of my cast mates and you know the play I told you guys about it's on Broadway and it's called Hamilton."
"Wait you are going to perform on Broadway, that's great!"... "Wait a date, with who and how, you are always here?? " "Oh yea that reminds me Ava! Can I have tomorrow off, pleeeease?"
Ava comes around the corner into view and says "sure, but why, what's going on?" "Oh nothing really-" "She has a date!"
I look around to see all the customers looking at us. I turn red and get back to work.
Ava starts up the conversation again with "So a date huh, who is this lucky actor?" "Um his name is Leslie, that's about all I know about him, Am I crazy, he is practically a total stranger!??"
Ava pats my back and says "Okay, hun calm down, just breath." "Ava, I'm breathing but I'm also freaking! Okay, forget that he is a stranger what if he thinks I'm weird or I'm not good enough."

Maria steps in and smacks me in the back of the head and says "stop it, if the guy is smart he will try his best to impress you. Just chill, and stop stressing"
"Okay I'm good, and you guys are right. I am the bees knees and should be viewed as such." I continued to work to off at 11pm and went home calm and content.
*Time Skip to 6am tomorrow morning*
"Shoot, Shoot, Shoot I am going to be late." I mutter as I run down W. 46th St holding on to my bag and slide into the theatre at 6am on the dot. Out of breath, I slowly but surely make my way to the stage but stopped when I saw a couple of the actors and Daveed, so glad he got my text.
[ Sorry for the filler, peeps. The date will definitely be in the next one... hopefully]
