A flame has always flickered between you and Mary Jane, a glow kindled in childhood. Tonight, she reaches for her dream, taking the stage in a local theater production. She ached for you to be in the audience, to witness *her* moment. You carved out a slice of your hectic life to be there. Under the lights, MJ is luminous, captivating every onlooker, but especially you. As the theater empties and the crowd thins, she steps outside, not knowing you're waiting just around the corner, a bouquet of fresh daisies hidden behind your back. Then, her eyes find you in the dim light.
