Chapter Text
We had been in the same room some years prior coincidentally doing the same thing as we were the day we officially met. Neither of us were yet ourselves but only the shell of who we are now. Fast forward to January, 26th 2023. My excitement was bouncing off the wall because I finally got to see your aunt for the first time since covid. I was telling my friends about how this was going to be the best day ever. My wrist and self-doubt were still recovering from some really low points. My stomach was grumbling because I refused to eat anything before leaving in fear of how I looked. I remember it was very cold and icy as I was walking up the steps of the Repertoire. I had ran ahead so I could go find Sarah and grab a snack. I grabbed some twizzlers and popcorn. When we walked back to the main theater I immediately went up to Sarah. She then introduced you and your family to me. I remember thinking that you were cute but I could never date you. When I was told you were auditioning for the same show as me I had some hope we could maybe be friends. At the end of the show, you had made fun of me for not realizing that Peter the Starcatcher was really Peter Pan. I had hoped that I would get to hear your laugh some more. When I got home, I went on Instagram and followed you praying you would follow me back. I would’ve thought someone was playing a sick joke if they told me that we would be best friends and partners.
