Miranda

And there are a couple of adults and she's going to graduate.

My junior year, he was directing what's called a main stage show, which is the biggest show of the year because it's in the university's main theater.

It was Sarah Rule's Eurydice, which is the retelling of the Greek tragedy of Eurydice.

And he cast me to be the lead, Eurydice.

And Olivia was cast in the show as well.

This moment in particular is what I really think of when I think of him pitting us against one another and making us compete against one another because he alluded to her that she was going to be cast as a lead and that I was going to be cast as a lead and made us compete a bunch in the audition process, which was really shitty.

And she got cast in the show, but not as a lead.

She was a supporting character.

Eurydice would have rehearsed for, I think, three-ish months from August to, it probably opened in October or November.

It's when I had really developed feelings for him.

He would call me into his office almost every day before rehearsal.

And I would spend 30 minutes to an hour with him deep diving into the show or talking about life or just sitting while he worked.

And I would read.

I would stay late after rehearsal as well.

I had just started working a new job, part-time job.

trying to pay for my apartment and school.

I would go to an 8 a.m.

class and leave class at noon and go drive to my job and work from 1 to 4 every day during the week.

I was meeting him before rehearsal, so going to his office at school at 5 in rehearsal Monday through Thursday from 6 p.m.

to 10 p.m.
