Robyn's POV

Me and the girls were at the theatre ready to see Kate in A Few Good Men. Luckily for her, her nearest tube station was literally just outside and on the Piccadilly Line, so it was easy for her to get home.

'This will be my second preview' Susan told us. 'But never mind the first one, that was Leonora in The Glass House'

She shuddered and tears began spilling down her face. Me and Marie each put a comforting hand on her shoulders.

'Don't worry, this one will be so much better' I told her. After buying our interval drinks and our programme, the three of us trooped into the auditorium. Caitlin had booked us tickets in the stalls, so we were certain to get a very good view. The curtain was up when we went in revealing a courtroom set

'Lovely' Marie said happily. 'I love a good courtroom thriller'.

My phone buzzed with a text from Kate telling us she would meet us after the show

Kate's POV

Me and my cast mated were getting ready for our next preview. As I got into my military uniform I couldn't help admiring myself in the mirror. I looked really nice as a military officer.

I had chance before the performance to send a text to Robyn and the girls telling them to meet me after the show. They had attended the matinee so they could get back to Oxford in good time.

This was our fourth day out of ten for the preview shows before the opening night next week. Tom who was playing Daniel Kaffee told me he was in a Broadway show once that had three weeks  of previews, but had a long run of nine months. This gave me an opportunity to ask him about Off Broadway and what the difference was.

The show went well just a few niggles and I skipped a line or two which was unusual for me. Nevertheless it didn't interrupt the flow of the show and it carried on without too much trouble.

It was lovely to see Susan and Marie afterwards who were very pleased to see me back in the West End.

'You have to see us on Broadway' Susan begged, tears spilling down her face. 'Jen and Poppy would love to see you'

Tears began to run down my cheeks.

'I promise I will make it happen somehow' I said. Me and Susan wiped our tears and we continued having a drink in the cafe near Piccadilly Circus before I had to return to the theatre for the evening performance

Enid's POV

I was getting frustrated as Tristan had still not heard from Jarrod or William about our proposal to go on a joint holiday and time was running out. It was now September and it would soon be Autumn in a few weeks

'We are going to have to sort this out' I told him over breakfast one day. 'I know he's busy and everything, but I do want another holiday'

Tristan told me he would fix it and we cleared up the breakfast things as we prepared to open up
