Playbill Promises (Jack Wolfe Fanfic)

Artemis never expected one chance encounter at a Hadestown screening to change the course of her life.

She certainly didn't expect the charming West End actor she had secretly admired for years to scribble more than just an autograph inside her playbill.

One hidden phone number.

One text.

One friendship neither of them saw coming.

As late-night conversations turn into coffee dates, backstage rehearsals, and stolen moments between theatre lights, Ari begins to realize that the person behind the spotlight is nothing like the one she'd imagined from afar.

Jack Wolfe spends his life telling other people's stories onstage.

Ari may be the first person who's ever made him feel seen offstage.

But theatre has its own rules. Fame isn't always kind. And sometimes the hardest role to play is simply being yourself.

After all...

The best love stories don't begin with a grand gesture.

Sometimes they begin with a signed playbill.
