Auditions for my new show started today.

"Anne Frank; The Musical." 

It's genius. 

I'm positive once it opens, it'll bring in millions. Then I can have the money to buy Lea and I anything we want and need. 

Well, maybe not Lea. 

She's getting really serious about our relationship. I think she wants to go all the way...not in the bedroom; we've already did that just short of a million times; but she wants the ring. She wants the ring, marraige a house, a family...the whole shabang.  To be quite honest, she's starting to bore me. Our relationship is completely void of sex, and when we do have it, it's the same old boring shit. During the day, all she wants to do is talk! Do I look like the type of man that likes conversation?

I'm in the stage business, for crying out loud! I need excitement and adventure! I really don't know how much longer our relationship will last.

Anyways, back to the show. The script is complete brilliance. But of course it is...I wrote it. It's the first time I'm producing and directing a show all on my own. It's one hundred percent my vision. I don't know why I never thought of doing this. My vision is flawless. Anne Frank: The Musical is everything a Broadway production should be. It has romance, adventure, comedy, drama...It's great! 

There's just one thing that I know will put it over the top. 

The perfect woman to play Anne. 

My Anne Frank needs to be a triple threat. She needs to be a phenomenal actress, a beautiful singer and a spectacular dancer.

Most important; My Anne needs to be drop dead georgous. That's why these auditions are so important.

I saw a lot of women today. But none of them were special. None of them had that 'it' factor. Mostly, I just spent the day doodling imaginary creatures on a notepad, twiddling my thumbs and feigning interest, trying desperately not to vomit at the mediocrity that plagued the stage.

 Only one girl caught my eye all day. 

Her acting was a little less than par, but she had a drive in her eyes that I couldn't deny, and she was completely beautiful. I can still hear her sweet voice, and picture her full, red lips as they spoke the lines to my show. 

What was her name?

 Oh yea, Sofia.

I could use her. She's not the best actress, but there's something about her...not something I can exactly place...but she just might work. Before I cast her, she'll have to prove to me just how much she wants this part.

And I think I know how she can do that. 

Damn it, I hear Lea coming to bed, so I better stop writing. Can't wait for another night of the same old boring sex. How fun, *insert sarcasm here.*

...Pray for me...

Until tomorrow, 

- Mason.

Sofia.

Her name races through every corner of my conscience, as I lay in bed now. My mind travels back to earlier today, when Sofia walked onto the stage for her second audition, and walked into my life for good.
