She told me once, how much she was freaking out...
I'm surprised she didn't set the library on fire.

He arrived a little early and sat down near the window. He watched people walk down the street and signed a napkin before he noticed a young girl walking down the street with a large canvas. He couldn't help but chuckle as it was almost bigger then her.
He went out to the street to help her.

     "Genevieve?" He asked, she looked up and smiled. Her short blond hair blew in her face sticking to her freckled nose.

     "Hi Mr. Miranda" she said attempting to put out her hand to shake but almost dropping the canvas covered with a drop sheet.

    "Call me Lin you goof" he says taking the canvas and shaking her hand. She smiled as they walked into the cafe. He leaned the painting on the wall. "I'll be back, you like coffee?" He asks.

     "Who doesn't like coffee in New York?" She responded, he chuckles and got two coffees with cream and sugar on the side.

     "I thought of someone" he says, she laughs while stirring her coffee. "Pippa, she much prefers tea" he says. "She plays-"

   "Eliza Schuyler Hamilton" Genevieve finished. "I did my research on your play" she says then take a sip of her coffee.

     "I'm impressed, are you excited to see the show?" Lin asks, she nods. "Can I take a look at the painting, I'm really excited to see it in person" he asks.

     "It's your painting of your face I don't see why you couldn't" she said with a laugh. He carefully took the drop sheet off.

     "I still don't know what to say I mean...look at this!" He says, she giggles.

    "I went through some of your tweets, you sound like your talking about a) Vanessa or b) Sebastian or c) Groff"
She said, he burst out laughing.

    "Good point, so I give full creativity to you but I do want to see it from time to time. Which is why I want you to use the theatre" he explains, she nods.

    "Lin to be honest I'm really excited about working in the theatre! The idea of hearing the traffic and stage hands and people singing just sounds amazing" she says sipping her coffee again.

      "Perfect, I'll get you a key for the back entrance" Lin says, she smiled but hes taken back.

    "No, no, I work here"...

     He shakes his head. "Are you alright Lin?" She asks, he looks up at her.

      "Yeah, sorry I just thought of something from a while ago" he says, she noticed how it off put him.

     "Did Vanessa see the painting?" She asks, he looks up and whips out his phone.

"Vanessa Nadal speaking"

    Her mouth dropped and eyes widening. "Hi love, remember the painting I showed you last night?" Lin said.

"Yeah of course I was gorgeous"

    Lin smiled at Genevieves face of shock. "Well I'm here with the artist herself and I offered her the job I was telling you about" he said, they could both hear Vanessa gasp.

"Lin Manuel put me on speaker right now"

     "You are already love" he said through a chuckle. She laughs again.

"Hi Genevieve in Vanessa but call me V if you like, everyone does. Your painting of me and Lin was absolutely incredible!"

     Genevieve was smiling so hard her cheeks hurt. For someone to love her art so much was something she always wanted. "Thank you V, it was wonderful to paint and I'm not just saying that" she says with a smile.

    "Honey I can't wait to see the rest of your art. Do you have a studio?"

    "I have a loft in the library, I work there so the head librarian gave me the space" Genevieve said with a smile thinking about it.

"Can I see it? I really enjoy your art"

    "Oh... yeah of course!" Genevieve laughed as Vanessa cheered.

"Okay I have to go to court, Genevieve I'll stop by later. Lin I love you, be nice bye"

    "So I guess my wife and I will be by later tonight then" Lin said with a chuckle. She nodded. They stood up and hugged. "See you soon, show starts at eight" he said and left.

Did that just happen?
