Tech week had arrived for her new play, and it was sure to be a stressful one. Two different thinking directors made for a huge difference in style and how she should be doing everything.
Then her period decided that three days early would be the perfect time for a visit, ensuring that the entire tech run she would be trying to make things work from a hunched over position. This period had also seen fit to make itself a weepy one, and she found herself crying over the smallest things.
The middle of tech, life came crashing down around her. Goldie had a personal tragedy that made life seem so remarkably unfair that she didn't even want to go on with the show. Then, minutes later, she got a text from her other friend who had broken up with her boyfriend. She was heartbroken, even though she had sort of seen it coming. The situation had been remarkably close to her and KSL, so her heart then also went out to her.
She had ignored a call from Mo earlier, and he texted to see if she was awake just after her show was getting out. She said she was finishing up at the theatre. He sent her a video she couldn't hear, but he was opening a present of baby clothes.
"You're going to be an Auntie!" He confirmed. She was happy for him, sad for her friends, but mostly her uterus was just trying to eat itself inside her, and she was trying to keep it together.
If this had all just waited until after tech, she might have been able to handle it.
Then her ex insisted on Sunday breakfast with an old professor of theirs who was only in town for a short while.
She got queasy.
