The tickets were clutched tightly in her hand as she walked through the doors of the theatre. Emily was going to surprise him. Tonight was the opening night of the musical he had been working on for years. She envisioned his face when he saw her there. The joy, the relief, the shared moment of triumph. She felt a joyful anticipation, a bright and happy bubble bursting inside her.

"Emily?" he whispered, his eyes wide.

The woman turned, her expression unreadable.
