"Spencer!" Elisa called out, smiling as she continued, "Can you spare some time to rehearse with us, Summer?" Her eyes were pleading and full of hope.
This was exactly what Summer wanted to ask, but Elisa beat her to it. This girl was amazing!
Seeing the hopeful look in Summer's eyes, Spencer didn't hesitate and simply nodded, his tone light, "Sure."
Elisa was ecstatic and nearly jumped up in excitement. She covered her mouth, "That's wonderful! There's a lounge over there!" She quickly linked arms with Summer, "Let's go, let's rehearse!"
Being pulled along by Elisa, Summer smiled outwardly, but inside, she felt awkward, as if she had orchestrated this to get closer to Spencer.
Suddenly, Spencer's heart softened. Despite his hands in his pockets, his demeanor remained cool.
Taking a step forward, his gaze lingered on Summer's figure, her dark, flowing hair just like he remembered.
Thinking about the next three months they would spend together, Spencer felt a childlike joy, as if he had found a great treasure.
Andrew followed by his side, aware of their past. Like Elisa, he wanted to be a good actor and play matchmaker when the opportunity arose.
As they entered the lounge, Elisa spoke, "Um... we'll go get some water for you! We won't disturb you, focus on rehearsing." With that, she grabbed Andrew's arm and pulled him out.
The door was left open, in case Summer felt uncomfortable.
Summer indeed felt uncomfortable with Elisa's reaction, wondering if Spencer would misunderstand.
"Spencer," Summer looked up at him, her beautiful face tinged with embarrassment, "Sorry for taking up your time."
"It's fine, I'm available now." He looked into her eyes.
Their gaze met once again. The girl smiled slightly, "Yesterday I analyzed Zoe's character and memorized the lines. Shall we give it a try?"
