She turned to David, and her eyes struck him like a pin to the heart. They were bright green, with touch of sultry and a dash of innocence. He couldn’t help but swallow hard, trying to keep his cool. He wasn’t a man who believed in love at first sight, but if there was such a thing…<br/><br/>He was weary of the idea of love, though. There was still a hole in his heart because of August. She was his soul mate until she tore out his soul, poured gasoline on it and dropped a match. He never fully healed, and his relationships afterwards never compared. He wasn’t ready for love.<br/><br/>The red-haired girl paused, looking at David. She didn’t say anything for a moment, but then laughed slightly giving him a big beaming smile. He found it cute, and couldn’t help but give her a big smile back.<br/><br/>She said something about finding him in the audience. He couldn’t help but smile even bigger at the thought. Of all the people in the audience, she singled him out. He didn’t understand the technique, because actors tend to focus on the other actor in the scene, to be in the moment and forget about the audience. Even when giving a monologue to the audience, he wasn't able to look into someone's eyes. He had to be alone, by himself in his own thoughts. Something he was comfortable doing.<br/><br/>“I’m flattered you chose me as your muse,” he jested about her awkward comment. “And yeah, I auditioned for the 'male lead.' Though it was a weird one- a weird audition I mean. I’m hoping I did fine. I really really need this.”<br/><br/>He looked at her, putting out his hand to help her up. “I’m David, by the way.”
