I wait as I keep my hand still on her cheek, hoping to feel my beautiful wife’s hot tears or see them from the corner of my eyes. I  also start focusing on the movie, unfortunately tears don’t fill my eyes.

Kirsty's POV

'Oh my god!' Sophie burst out, tears running down her cheeks. 'She is such a lightpole!!'

She was reading an interview with the lead actress from The Phoenix of Prague, who had been very disparaging about Kate's career choices so far, including her voice over role in Forest Friends.

'I mean' she continued wiping her tears,   'What the hell is wrong with doing voice over work anyway'

'Absolutely nothing!' Samantha said passionately, tears streaming down her face 'I still remember voice over actors from my favourite shows'

We agreed to forget about Leonora and concentrate on better things, like our Christmas shopping

Anna's pov:

I quickly sit and start exercising. After a few sec and without hesitation he asks that since it appears I've achieved my desired fitness goal if I'd allow him to feel my calves and thighs or if I'm still a bit uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind." I answer a bit surprised at my own boldness.

Kate's POV

When I heard of Leonora's visit from Rachel, I was completely appalled.

'I'm actually embarrassed I went to drama school with her' I responded, tears running down my cheeks. 'There is just no need for that'

I was still doing Off The Hook as poor Amelia was still stuck doing her reshoots in LA. This did cause the theatre a few headaches, as they had to give out some refunds because a few theatregoers had wanted to see her and not me. My fellow cast members weren't impressed, one of them even stating they were lucky to have a play to even see

The latest news we had heard back was now November.

'Hopefully she'll get back before December 5th' I explained as another round of tears ran down my cheeks. 'That's when the run ends'

Rachel nodded and tenderly wiped my tears before giving me a passionate kiss

Liz's POV

Me and Sadie were going to the cinema with Emma and Natalie. The Phoenix of Prague had just been released and we managed to get some tickets. The plot of the movie - a young woman tracking down the killer of her lover in post WWII Czech Republic was bound to have us all crying buckets

'I'm so looking forward to this' Emma said happily. I shared a grin with Sadie and Natalie. Nobody in our friend group liked the sensation of tears streaming down her face during a movie like her

Some of the other movies we could have seen were Inspector Wexford on Holiday a British movie set in Dubrovnik which was popular with the older cinemagoers.

During the previews we saw a trailer for The Lost Stranger. I had to look twice to recognize Kate as she normally had blonde hair, but her character in the film had chocolate brown hair.

Even in the trailer she captivated the screen with an emotional monologue about abandonment and loss. I heard Emma giggle next to me and when I looked a single tear was visible on her left cheek. She wiped it off and the film started.

It was a long film, about three hours. As we had thought we all had tears running down our cheeks a few times - it was good to see the other girls cry, I hadn't for a while. 

However when we debriefed afterwards, we  felt there was a fundamental problem with the lead actress who didn't seem to be at the same level as the other actors in the film. In fact she was pretty wooden

'Let's go see Inspector Wexford on holiday' Sadie suggested, as a stray tear ran down her right cheek. She wiped it away quickly. All four of us agreed and we trooped back to the cinema
