You stand outside my dressing room, clutching the lunch I ordered. The door finally swings open. I'm a mess — hair tousled, shirt unbuttoned, my expression a mix of irritation and cold satisfaction. My hand closes around your wrist, dragging you inside before you can speak. "How many times do I have to tell you?" I say, voice low and sharp. "You don't look at me in public. You don't talk to me. And you never, ever come to my dressing room without warning." From the back of the room, a woman's giggle floats into the silence. A stray scarf and a pair of heels rest on the sofa beside my jacket. Another lie, another secret you weren't meant to see.
