Once she was in her dressing room she locked the door and went over to lay on the couch. He couldn't possibly still like her could he? After all he was married. Or was he?  She laid there trying to stop herself from crying. She was here to play her dream role in a huge production and she wasn't about to let some old fling that hurt her get to her. 

She got off the couch and went over to the makeup area to make herself look like she just didn't spend the past five minutes crying. She was almost done when she heard a knock at the door. 

" Hello, Sierra. It's Ramin. Can I come in?" He sounded rather sad. 

Sierra stood there and thought about it for a few moments before walking over and unlocking the door and opening it. 

"Hello." She did her best to put on a fake smile and tone so he didn't know how much she was hurting. 

"Sierra, it has been so long. I missed you so much." He went over to hug her but was declined.

" I haven't forgotten what you did those years ago, one minute you're saying you have feelings for me and the next your wife is showing up at your show because you had plans with her after. A wife I didn't even know about." 

" Sierra, I am so so so sorry. Her and I were working on getting a divorce, it wasn't a good marriage at all. I was trying to leave for a year and somehow it kept getting pushed off. I should've told you and I am so sorry." 

" You should've told me, don't try to apologize for this now." Sierra was as furious as she was that night. 

" I am really sorry Sierra, after you left that night I kept calling and texting you to try and explain but it just went right to voicemail. I even went to some of your shows, I was going to try to meet you but you just looked so happy and I didn't want to ruin that."  

Before she could say anything back his phone rang, he glanced up at her, " Sorry but I have to take this. It won't be long." He answered the call, " Jaiden, Hadley! How are my two favorite little boys?" Ramin missed his kids so much but he knew they were in good hands.

" Good, we miss you a lot daddy. Grandma is driving us more insane then you do, but she lets us have ice cream for dinner some nights so it is okay." 

" Well enjoy it while you can because once I am back there will only be ice cream for dessert." Ramin continued to chat with the boys for a few more minutes. 

Sierra sat on the couch going through Twitter and listening in on the convo, Ramin sounded like an amazing dad and she hopped that they were just amazing. 

" Sorry about that, my kids like to check in several times a day." Ramin chuckled. 

" No problem, they sound adorable." 

Ramin glanced down at his watch and realized rehearsal didn't start for another hour. " Want to go grab some lunch or something?" 

" Sure, why not." Sierra grabbed her jacket and headed towards the door following Ramin outside.
