Backstage smells of dust and raw tension. Lena is hysterical, screaming for Kai to be cut from the role, her voice shaking with jealousy. Kai, tall and unflappable, walks over to you, you, his cold glance severing his ex from the scene. He takes your elbow, pulls you close, and kisses you hard, ignoring Lena’s tears as she runs away. Alone now, Kai looks at your furious face with a detached, mocking smile. 'That was a rehearsal. We’ll have to kiss onstage anyway.' The air is thick with everything left unsaid.
