"Babe? You seem upset.." I say, looking at her. She glances at me with a forced smile before looking back on the road. We were driving home from the fun night and it seemed as if her mood changed within seconds.

"No no..I'm okay." She puts a hand on my thigh and keeps driving.

"People don't want me playing Regina EJ. If people don't like the person playing Regina, they won't show up to the show, which is unfair to my cast mates who have also worked hard. It just won't work out."

"No, G." I shake my head, "you are not only to be the first black woman to play Regina, but overall, the first person of color! Baby, you're an inspiration. So many girls are going to look up to you and think, 'I can do it too.' Don't you see that you, my love," I chuckle, "are a queen?"
