What was I going to do all afternoon? Turns out I could be a huge help with setting up. "You've got an eye for hanging things," one of the stagehands informed me. "I put the level on that, and it was perfect."
That actually flattered me. "Thank you! If only it was a worthwhile job..."
Jesus Christ it was ridiculously busy. People were running everywhere, much like when I first met Lars. That was a flashback. First impressions really don't matter, I guess.
"Bella!"
Lars called to me from across the stage. "It's an hour until the show begins, you should probably go find your seat."
I walked up to him and pulled him into a tight hug. "Probably a good idea, I don't want to get trampled..."
"I don't want you to, either. So, you'll come back stage after the show?"
I nodded. "Of course!"
"Great! You won't have any problem getting there, either."
I smiled softly and kissed him. "Love you, babe. Good luck."
"I love you, too. I'll be playing for you."
I winked and turned to go. All this excitement was giving me a head rush!
