Autumn laughed softly as he almost missed the stop sign. He was adorable. [i "Well, you are in luck. I'm rehearsing for a small production of Cinderella. And I'll be playing Cinderella, I mean, if you don't get us in an accident first."] the woman teased, a smirk resting on her lips. She had been hoping this production would be a ticket into the Ballet Company, but the production was not big enough to get enough traction from such a prestigious company. She was part of a small ballet company, and she was currently getting decent roles in their shows. This was her first lead, and she was quite nervous to portray a princess, as she thought of herself as nothing close to a princess in any regard. She just hoped she could pull it off.
Watching Henry try and navigate the roads of New York was a bit comical. Autumn was used to it, as she learned to drive in New York. As he spoke of his family and his job, she listened. [i "So, we're both artists, hm? I mean, I can't draw to save my life, but I consider performing my art form. That's really awesome, I'd love to see some of your work as well, if that's okay."] she smiled. [i "New York is defiantly open to art. You may find something more sketchbook if you keep looking. They are always looking for new talent everywhere."] Autumn beamed, this man was becoming more and more her type they longer they spent together.
Once they dropped the truck off, he mentioned her getting them lost. She pouted, but her pout quickly turned into a smile. [i "You know, in New York, getting lost is half the fun. But because your a rookie, I'll make sure we get back safe and sound."] Autumn teased. As he mentioned hidden gems, her smile grew. [i "Oh, you don't know the half of it."] Autumn spoke. She took his hand, knowing otherwise she'd lose him. She knew how to get through the crowds of people, and knew he could get swept up in all of it.
Autumn knew exactly where to take him. Stage Source Co. was a very undervisited coffee shop, mostly because people didn't know it existed. They offered very good coffee and other variations of drinks, but the catch was that it was in an abandoned theater. The main coffee shop was on the stage, and there were small tables scattered around the stage, but you were also able to sit in the audience seating as well. Autumn loved performing so much, that it was very homey to be able to go to a theater for coffee. She slid through the people in the streets, Henry following behind, their hands laced together. As the came to the front of the building, he seemed confused. [i "Just wait."] she smiled, leaning in and whispering her words.
Autumn let go of his hand, knowing that she had been holding it for far to long for a few strangers. She opened the main door, showing the theater space with the coffee shop and people scattered around, talking and drinking coffee. Autumn smiled, looking over to Henry to see his reaction. [i "Isn't this awesome?"] she said. She almost wanted to reach out and take his hand again, but fought against the urge. [i "C'mon, let's get some coffee."] Autumn smiled, reaching her hand out for him to take it, not being able to help herself. As the walked side by side, she looked over to him, [i "So, what's your coffee order?"] she asked, running a hand through her hair, fluffing it as they walked toward the stage.
