No matter how grim Stuart's expression was, the play had to go on.
It all started at a movie premiere. A wealthy young man, from the moment he laid eyes on the actress on stage, was utterly smitten. His open-hearted pursuit, against her cool indifference, lit up the audience with intrigue and admiration.
Murmurs spread through the crowd.
"I swear, I'm gonna cry. The guy's totally lovesick."
"And she's just ice, isn’t she? Turning down a catch like him."
"If I were as gorgeous as she is, I’d play hard to get too."
Stuart’s brooding mood lifted slightly at the scene unfolding on stage.
But soon, the atmosphere shifted, the background darkening.
The old-money rules forbade the young heir from falling for an actress.
Family objections, society's gossip. Despite the negativity, the young man remained positive.
War crept into the city, chaos ensued after an aerial raid during one of her performances.
A terrified cabby bolted, leaving chaos in his wake, screams filled the air.
Her cool beauty, standing out against the backdrop of the war-torn debris, was a sharp contrast.
In the midst of panic, he rushed to her side, pulling her to safety.
Amidst the dust and disarray, her heart began to thaw.
On stage, they ran hand in hand. Morwenna, seeing Matthew's figure, felt her icy gaze warm.
She saw in him Stuart, always there to rescue her from danger.
Yet, in the audience, Stuart snapped his pen, its tip piercing his palm, ink staining his fingers in a strangely beautiful way.
The once impeccable young man now bore the marks of his journey, his white shirt stained with mud.
“We can’t stay here. I’ll get you out,” he promised.
“And what about you?”
“I... I’ll leave too. Don’t worry, we’ll both be fine.”
They planned their escape, boarding a crowded train filled with the anxious and hopeless.
But in the final moment before departure, they chose to disembark, understanding each other’s unspoken decision.
They shared a laugh, a tight embrace, no words needed.
Caught in an awkward moment, Morwenna quickly reminded herself that this was just a play, and backing off wasn't an option.
