We didn’t say a word at first. My phone, nestled in my pocket, was vibrating continuously – I checked it briefly, and saw several missed calls from Brad, Penny and even Kisani – but they could all wait. As soon as we were outside, Molly started to cry.

‘What the hell happened?’ I whispered, and I turned to cup her face in my hands. I stared down at her in the semi-darkness and the sight of the tears rolling down her cheeks was enough to make me want to storm back into the auditorium. ‘All you did was say hello to me.’

‘He told me I wasn’t allowed to talk to you, can you believe that? Not allowed,’ she whispered. There was a stubborn set to her jaw but misery in her eyes. ‘I told him he had no right to tell me who I could or couldn’t talk to. He said some things about you…’ She broke off, and her gaze fell.

I tilted her face towards mine. ‘What did he say about me?’

‘I don’t even want to repeat it, Leo. He used words that would hurt you,’ Molly whispered, and her gaze dropped. ‘And I lost my shit at him.’

‘That’s not what I heard,’ I said gently.

Molly laughed weakly, then her face fell and the tears started to flow all over again. ‘And then he lost his shit at me, and he’s much better at it than I am.’

‘God, Molly! I’m so sorry.’

‘I’m not. It was overdue.’

‘Did I do the right thing coming to your table? I kind of lost my mind.’ My phone vibrated again, and I sighed and released her to slip it from my pocket. A text from Brad – What the hell is going on?

I suddenly realised the very obvious option I’d overlooked.

‘Fuck,’ I groaned. ‘Molly, I should have just sent you a text.’

‘Yeah,’ she laughed, and then I started to laugh too. ‘That would have been slightly less dramatic.’

‘I heard he made you cry and my brain kind of melted.’

‘Who told you that? I did not cry!’

‘You obviously did,’ I said wryly, and I ran my thumb over her cheek.

‘Well… still… I am a professional, you know – except for the whole arguing with Dad in front of the staff thing. Any crying I may or may not have done, I did in the bathroom. God, this industry is full of bloody gossips!’

‘Isn’t that kind of the point?’

‘I’ll bet it was someone from TM,’ she muttered, and suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck, moving with such force that I stumbled backwards a little. ‘I don’t care what he thinks, or what anyone thinks. I think I’m falling in love with you, Leo Stephens, and I don’t care who knows it. Do you?’

I replayed the words over and over again before I spoke.

Love. That’s what this was. How had I not realised it yet? I’d been too busy enjoying it to step apart from it and identify it, but now that she’d said it, it made perfect sense.
