The tenderness on Mo’s face was genuine as she struggled to find Orsino’s words to answer. Louie saw it, and captured it and Mo, keeping that feeling between them for the whole performance. At the end, as Dena sang the final notes of the Clown’s song, there was a long breathless silence, then, like a string that the cast had been holding taut finally snapping, the audience exploded into rapturous applause. Mo’s hand squeezed Louie’s and they both stood forward and bowed. Louie knew without a doubt that it was her best performance ever.

It was after the flowers for Mrs. Ashton and several curtain calls that went on too long because of the stage manager’s enthusiasm that Louie finally saw Willa. She rushed up to Louie first this time, forgetting the others, and threw her arms around her.

“I love you, Louie,” she whispered.

As Louie opened her mouth to reply she caught sight of her parents and Marietta waiting at the door.

“Hi!” she said, knowing she was going bright red, but hoping the greasepaint would hide it. Willa let go and turned round.

“Hi,” she said, and Louie lost all hope as she saw the colour Willa turned.

Susi spread her mouth in something that looked like but wasn’t a smile and gave Louie a quick kiss. “Well done, Louie. You were very good, everyone said so.”

Tony enveloped her in a hug and tried to make up for Susi. “You were fabulous. Nobody noticed anyone else on stage. They needn’t have bothered. You were the star.”

“Dad,” Louie frowned as some other actors were coming in the -dressing room.

“Well that’s what I thought. I’m allowed to, I’m your father.”
