Getting free time for just the two of you was as if asking for the impossible. Things always seem to work against you both. Whether it be the crew, paparazzi swarming you whenever you stepped foot outside somewhere, and other mishaps, Michael and you always seemed to be occupied with something.

Before endless tour dates, you and Michael spent all your time together. But life got complicated after marriage. Along with Michael’s very busy career path, anything could happen. Time between you two was limited, distractions were always taking your attention away from the other.

Michael informed the crew that he would be busy all night with you. The two of you finally had a night to yourselves. Michael decided to take you to see a movie and have a nice dinner somewhere.

Dinner was great, the two of you dressing up in the nicest of clothing and eating out at this new, fancy Italian restaurant downtown. All of the pasta and wine you could eat, and boy did you two eat. After than, Michael drove you both down to the theater, buying some other snacks with popcorn. It was perfect, the night was going splendidly. Until it didn’t.

Both of you sat in the middle back row of the theater, cozy and comfortable, until Michael’s boss contacted him in the middle of the movie. His phone was on silent, but his boss only ever called Michael if it were serious. He hesitantly got up, whispering some quiet excuse to you and leaving the movie to take the call, leaving you in the theater, alone.
