Before the Show
Scarlet's POV
Friday afternoon 2 hours before 7:30pm show.
I was pacing in the master bedroom of the house we were staying in. I was happy that the Master was Downstairs and the other rooms were upstairs for many reasons.
Hugh opened the bedroom door and walked in.
"You alright?"
"What do you think. I'm freaking out"
"Everything will be fine. Trust me." He said as he placed a kiss on my neck.
"I want us to have the best show we've ever done together."
"And it will be. I'll make sure of it."
"I hope so."

7:20 pm
I was still worried about tonight. I knew I should be but I was. I glanced at the clock 10 minutes before Curtain up. Jack walked in and held my hand.
"Can we go watch the show before we go on?" He asked in a small voice
It was now a tradition that me and jack went to watch the show from Curtain Up until we had to get in places to go on.
"Of course" I tell him
I put my Gloves and Hat on and we walked to one side of the stage.
Lily was there with Hugh and Helen. When she saw me she gave me the biggest hug.
"It'll all be alright. And if he doesn't get the message I'll give him the message."
I laughed at that. Lily was my best friend when it came to men. And I knew she would do anything to help me.
Hugh came over and embraced me.
"You'll be alright."
"I hope so"
Places were called and everyone went to their place.
Hugh gave me one last smile before the stage went dark and the curtain rose.

Hugh's POV
I took a breath before the curtain rose. Tonight I would sing for what felt like the 500th time. But this time I felt different. I gave Scarlet and Jack one last smile before the stage went dark and the music began. Tonight I would Sing for my Angel, My Muse, And my Future Wife.
"Ten long years
Living a mere facade of life
Ten long years
Wasting my time on smoke and noise
In my mind
I hear melodies pure and unearthly
But I find
I can't give them a voice without you
My Christine, my Christine
Lost and gone, lost and gone
The day starts
The day ends
Time crawls by
Night steals in pacing the floor
The moments creep
Yet I can't bear to sleep
'Til I hear you sing
And weeks pass
And months pass
Seasons fly
Still you don't walk through the door
And in a haze
I count the silent days
'Til I hear you sing once more
And sometimes at night time
I dream that you are there
But wake holding nothing
But the empty air
And years come
And years go
Time runs dry
Still I ache down to the core
My broken soul
Can't be alive and whole
'Til I hear you sing once more
And music, your music
It teases at my ear
I turn and it fades away
And you're not here
Let hopes pass
Let dreams pass
Let them die
Without you, what are they for?
I'll always feel
No more than halfway real
'Til I hear you sing once more"
