The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Yeah, I'm sorry for separating you from your fellow cast members. Let me make it up to you by giving you a male companion-"

The screams from the audience almost lifted the roof off. Melody was utterly bewildered. As she followed the host's gaze, she saw Lucas approaching with a smile, his steps firm and determined. Melody was initially shocked, but her inability to contain her smile betrayed her. All the nervousness about how to respond without making mistakes vanished the moment she saw Lucas.
