Mallory had thought the first full-call rehearsal had been long, but it was positively expeditious compared to the four and a half hours it had taken them to get through their first wet tech a week later. It made sense, really, that it would take time to align lighting arrangements and sets—not that there were many of those in the first half of the ballet and none in the second—but as she waited in the doorway of Addison’s dressing room for her to finish packing up her things, she dearly wished she had thought to throw a protein bar or something into her bag to hold her until she could get a proper meal.

“Let’s get out of here.” Addison tossed the strap of her duffle over her head and smiled tiredly at Mallory as she followed her into the hall and quickly locked up after herself. “Matt and Gabs better be down there waiting for us,” she groaned as she dropped her keys into the side pocket of her duffle, “because otherwise, I’m going to just text them to meet us back at my place.”

Mallory chuckled when her stomach growled loudly in agreement and shook her head as she draped an arm over Addison’s shoulders. “I was just thinking that I should have packed a protein bar or something,” she shared as they started making their way toward the lift.

“I’d fucking kill for a a protein bar right now,” Addison muttered as she leaned into Mallory’s side.

“Are you sorry you offered to cook tonight? Because I’m sure we can get something delivered instead.”

“It’s fine.” Addison looped an arm around Mallory’s waist as they stopped to wait for the lift. “I picked up a lasagna from Tesco the other day that I just have to pop into the oven. It’s not frozen or anything, so it won’t take long to heat up. And I think Matty said something about wine.” She shrugged. “I dunno. I mean, it is a school night and everything, so he might have changed his mind on that. But I kind of doubt it. He knows Gabs loves a good Merlot, and his dad is a sommelier at some posh restaurant near the castle in Edinburgh, so he’s always sending Matt crates of wine to share with ‘all his starving artist friends’.”

“That’s nice of him.”

Addison yawned and nodded as the doors to the lift began to slide open. “Yeah. Anyway, so there will probably be wine. Which means I will probably fall asleep on you at some point this evening, so I’ll just go ahead and apologize for that now.”

“That’s perfectly fine,” Mallory assured her as she steered them inside. She pressed the button for the ground floor as she passed the console, and guided Addison to the back of the car so they could lean against the wall. “I quite like when you fall asleep on me.”

Addison smiled at her in their reflection in the polished steel doors. “Good. Because I’m kinda getting addicted to it.”
