Director's Cut

He memorized every 
movie, scene, and 
breath she took,
convinced her on-
screen smile was 
meant only for him.

Tonight, the velvet 
rope of the premiere
was his to cross, and 
the cutting steel in his
pocket would finally 
make her his forever.

When the theater 
lights dimmed, he
she'd his quiet 
restraint and 
stepped into her
spotlight.
