The Day I Kissed An Older Man

After a few days of rest, Melody would soon embark on her non-stop roadshow. While previous meet-and-greets felt a little daunting to her, facing the roadshow brought a mix of excitement and trepidation. She eagerly anticipated the audience's reaction to her performance that year, but she was also very worried because it was her first time assuming a leading role in a film. The prospect of not being well-received by the audience as the protagonist gnawed at her mind.

Insomnia set in two days before the official roadshow. Night after night, she tossed and turned in Lucas' arms, unable to find some respite from her thoughts. With another sleepless night plaguing her, Lucas switched on the night light.

"Can't sleep? Would you like to talk?" Lucas asked softly, concerned by her restlessness.

Melody felt bad to have woken Lucas up because of her tossing and turning, but her anxiety was genuine and she hoped to get it off her chest. "I don't know how I'm supposed to face the audience. My fans are one thing because I know they'll support me no matter what, but it's a different story for other members of the public. My future in acting would be jeopardized if this doesn't go well."

Melody's concerns were of course solely rooted in her identity as an actress. As long as she and Lucas remained together, she vowed never to forsake her passion for acting.
