The next day, I was preparing to go live on a TV show to explain my side of the story.
I was alternating between memorizing my lines and also remembering the recipe I had watched on YouTube today on how to make curry stew and rice, Sebastian's dinner. I made a mental note to come up with another excuse for Monty today in case he asks.
The bottom line is, I was too shy to tell anyone what I was doing for Sebastian. Thankfully, he was being discreet too.
"You're up next!" the backstage director walked up to inform me.
"Thank you!" I nodded and set down my phone. I closed my eyes, and massaged my temples, trying to restore order to my thoughts. I mustn't mess this up, no matter what.
"So, you still won't take the initiative and give up already?" A familiar mocking voice reached my ears. It was Janice.
