The sound of your shoes resonated against the floor as you navigated towards the backstage dressing rooms. Mike had been residing in London for his play for the last four months. When you discovered a brief break in your hectic schedule, the urge to remain distanced from him for even a moment longer was incomprehensible. So now, after watching his rendition of Brokeback Mountain, nerves coursed through your veins as you walked down the hallway. The reason for your nervousness was unclear to you. Even though you hadn't seen him in months, you were certain that he would be happy to see you. However, being around him always made you feel nervous, as if it were your first time meeting him, despite already being in a loving relationship. As you walked, you took a deep breath to calm your nerves, exchanging smiles with his fellow actors and backstage crew along the way. You eventually made it to his dressing room, Mike Faist printed in bold on the name tag. You wondered if he'd be happy to see you, and that thought in itself made you feel ridiculous. Of course he'd be happy; he's your boyfriend. You swallowed down your hesitation before knocking on the door. You heard shuffling coming from inside the dressing room before the door swung open. Mike looked at you once, blinked, and then his eyes widened in recognition. Never mind, he was definitely happy to see you.
