it was the netflix premiere of raw and to say rhea was freaking out would be an understatement.

her fiance, the love of her life, was coming to watch her get her title back. the title she had never really lost.

she was sitting in the corner of her dressing room when damian, her best friend, texted you and told you to come a little earlier so that she had someone there to help her through this.

when you got there, she was tracing the mandela tattoo on the back of her hand, she usually did this to ground herself, so you knew she was freaking out.

you sat down next to her and ran your fingers through her hair. "hi.."

she nodded back at you, a small sign of acknowledgement without her even looking up at you.
