Anna's pov:

Completely ignoring the waitress I see William bring both hands to my cheeks as he lovingly tells me to let them fall as he'll catch every one of them.

"Yes, love." I whisper as my tears finally begin to flow over my cheeks.

In my heart I really want to wipe his tears but also can't get enough of looking at his beautiful tears as they run over his cheeks.

William’s POV:

Even though my focus is on Anna’s eyes, I can still see the waitress, who seems so shocked she’s unable to move, when Anna allows her precious tears to fall down her beautiful face unchecked, I can feel my heart rate increasing as I wipe her tears and physiology (maybe psychology as well?) kicks in, causing a more than firm tent) the moment I kiss her aesthetic tears and her artistic streaks off her cheeks with the waitress witnessing, mute and immobile.

I guess Jarrod noticed Jackson and I were a bit tired as he  paid for a cab to drive us to the mall where we'd be seeing a movie. Jackson gets in the cab first, followed by Jarrod and then myself. All the way to the mall he spares no time patting and squeezing my thighs.

As soon as Jackson, Jarrod and I arrive Jarrod picks up Jackson in his left arm with his right hand holding my left. We walk into the mall through a coffee shop. He mentions we could get something to eat there after the movie if I'm interested.

Just as I'm about to answer I feel a firm pat on my quads just below the hem of my shorts. I  instinctively flex my legs to prevent any jiggles from escaping as I turn to look around. I notice what looked like a young teenager running through the shop glancing back just before exiting.

I then turn my head to look at Jarrod.

I quickly turn to the guy, who is already a few feet away from us, running away. Turning to Camilla’s sapphire eyes: “My love, I really love the way your sexy muscles responded (Camilla will let me know if she managed to keep them from jiggling at all, if she managed to stop her jiggles after the initial jiggle or if her sexy muscles jiggled wildly). I guess this is the alarm to go straight to the movie theater.”

We continue our walk, Jackson still in my arm and Camilla’s hand in my hand.

When we reach the movie theater I ask Camilla what movie she wants to watch.

Kate's POV

My film shoot concluded, I was on the way to the airport to fly home. I had hoped to wait a week, at Susan's house for Rachel but my work visa didn't allow me to stay longer than 24 hours, so I'd been forced to go immediately

Just as I had been forced to accept my role in Echoes of Hollow Lane. The concept of the film was fine but the script wasn't the best. I had been wrong before of course, but in this instance Chris and Julia agreed with me. My four main co-stars were very nice and I enjoyed spending time with them. Summer for instance had given me some tips for crying on cue, which proved invaluable. She was really good at getting tears to spill down her face. On the other hand my director was a trifle brusk though and overall it hadn't been the best experience

I did have some good news from home though. Beth and Amber had won an Oscar for The Sunningdale Mystery their second short together and that had helped me reach the end of the shoot

However at the airport I was horrified to see Kiera in one of the lounges. She explained through sobs that Martin had fired her for the 'crime' of telling Leonora during one rehearsal that if she couldn't cope with the demands of the part she shouldn't have taken the job.

'I didn't shout or anything' Kiera continued, tears tracing down her cheeks. 'I was perfectly polite, but after she'd missed the first 12 performances because of her panic attacks, I felt I had the right to express my opinion'

Luckily the two of us were not only sharing a flight, but we were sat together and we spent the seven hour flight quietly reading a book each

When we landed I texted Chris and Julia for more details. Leonora had indeed suffered a panic attack before the first night's performance, and this had continued for a week and a half. After hearing social media reviews of Kiera's performance, her Majesty finally dragged herself on stage in the middle of the second week and flopped rather badly. At the Tuesday rehearsal the week after, she had wanted to add an interval in the middle. This resulted in Kiera telling her the fateful sentence that had gotten her fired

I wiped a tear that had run down my left cheek. Of all the cowardly and craven things I could imagine this one took the biscuit. Iris according to Ned, had been so upset she had viciously swore for two solid minutes

'It was quite impressive actually' he admitted

Daniel had been really angry as well, as now he had to train another understudy. Luckily Iris had stepped up to the plate, offering to learn the second female part while he did.

The final word on this affair came from Evie who remarked that Leonora hadn't been half bad in The Thirteen Problems

'If she'd concentrated on improving her craft, she could have been really good. Just like you did'

And that I thought to myself wiping another set of tears that had run down my cheeks was the saddest thing of all
