He pulled a drag of smoke from his cigarette. The smoke made his breath look extra thick in the cold air. It felt good to smoke, after so long without it. He also hated himself, because he'd been so long without a cigarette. It was as if this woman brought out the worse in him, but he loved it.<br/><br/>"Oh, I think she liked me," he told her, almost gloating, but trying not to. "She seemed really into me. I'm thinking I might have a chance. We had real chemistry together."<br/><br/>She continued with her questions. He really felt at home with this girl. Her mood, her smile, her warmth, it's exactly what he needed right now. Good company. He was hoping to get the part, not only for the career and for the money, but now to spend more time with Nadia. He wanted to get to know her for some reason. He felt like she was something special.<br/><br/>"I would love to go to the country some day," he said. "I also love the city. You were really lucky to grow up in both worlds. I've just known Charlevoix, and it's a big clean city with no character. Not like this place. This place is warm, full of life, and beautiful... kind of like you."<br/><br/>She then asked him the dreaded question, why acting? He had many answers, and it's changed over time. He felt he had become cynical about the career over time, but there was still a love for it. "I've always had a passion for Arts, I got it from my parents. My mother used to dance actually. I wanted to do a lot of things, but I'm tone deaf and can't draw for my life. So my options were limited. I fell in love with acting when I was in college. It's just exciting, and so alive. When you get a great scene that you can sink your teeth into, it's the best feeling in the world. I also love the emotional highs and lows, the range of characters and I especially love getting a perfect script. When it's well written, it's just the best. I guess it's hard to put into words." He laughed a bit.<br/><br/>"And why are you in love with dance? I can tell you love it, by the passion and beauty you bring to it."
