KEY: Tara / Sahil
hello, Romeo
rise & shine!
good morning, Juliet
ew, there's no way I want to be Juliet thank you very much
pick your character, my lady
at the very least I'd like to be Elizabeth Bennett haha
alright, I surrender before your wit
okay enough cheesy talk
what's your plan for the day? is your throat any better now?
I'm actually leaving for school right now
I feel healthy enough to attend today
are you coming?
no, I've to go to the airport in two hours to pick up my mother's old nurse
she's coming from India and will stay with us now
I'll come back home around five
I see. I wish you were coming, though
We have our stage rehearsals today and I'm already worried sick
take a deep breath, Mr. Heartthrob
You're great at this. Go steal the show :)
I'll try my best
sorry if I sound off, I couldn't sleep at all last night
My parents are attending the rehearsal
apparently my drama teacher had enough of my diminishing confidence and decided to invite them in order to provide "support and encouragement"
I don't understand
I thought you performed on stage a few days back?
yeah, but she doesn't want to take any chances with me
a friend of mine who's in-charge of the direction team said so
some friend they are
don't worry, Sahil
you're gonna stump them, okay?
I hope so, star
also, there's something I've been meaning to ask you
shoot
the drama club is throwing a party tonight, at my house
it would mean the absolute world to me if you came
sure
wait...really? you don't need more convincing?
nope. I would've stayed home with Maa but Mrs. Reddy will already be here by tonight
so we're all good :)
will you come pick me up?
I'd love to, but my parents are going to force me to introduce them to every person in attendance (yikes). I might not be able to get away
I'm sorry :(
it's okay, Romeo
I don't need an escort. Text me your address along with the time you'll be expecting me, and I'll be there <3
Sent a map location
I'm not letting anything stop you from reaching me now
Hence the super-accurate location.
I really should've done that too lmao
see you later, then?
see you at seven, star.
wish me luck!
you don't need it.
not while I have you

a/n: we're so close to the last chapter! I'm so not ready for this story to end.
