Gwendolyn-Grace gave one last sigh before opening the doors of the foyer to enter into the Opera Populaire.Well here goes nothing... As she entered through the doorway, her flowing red with black lace evening gown fluttered like the wings of a graceful butterfly in the wind blowing in from outside. Her hair tossed smoothly from side to side; shimmering in the sun's beams.
"Hello? Is there anyone that can help escort me to the audition?" she said in a timid yet beautiful voice as she tiptoed gently down the few stairs.

Dominic heard a clear, rather hesitant voice echoing through the foyer. He knew that he'd be in trouble if the managers caught him - as a mere stagehand, he shouldn't be crossing the foyer where patrons or guests could see him. But his instincts insisted he be a gentleman and attempt to assist her.
"Excuse me," he called out quietly, his masculine voice echoing slightly. "You look rather lost."

Gwendolyn-Grace swirled around to meet the eyes of young man. She glided towards him and gave him a gracious smile. “I was wondering if someone might be so kind as to give me a little guidance on where everything is. Perhaps you might be able to spare a few minutes?"

Dominic smiled and nodded. "Of course." He touched his hand to the small of her back for a brief moment and headed in the direction of a discreet oak door in the corner. "This passageway is for staff members, but it's the quickest way to the stage."
He opened the door and headed down the narrow corridor, aware of the young woman's gown swishing behind him. "May I ask your name?" he called back over his shoulder.

Gwendolyn-Grace glanced at him and quickly hid her face and blushed. "My names is Gwendolyn-Grace Annabelle Cromwell.You can..call me Gwen though." She smiled as she gained back the courage to meet his eyes."And yours?"

"Dominic Dupont," he responded, approaching a narrow doorway that opened up onto an equally narrow staircase. The backstage area was visible below.
"These stairs are very steep," Dominic said as he turned to Gwen. "It's easy to fall if you're not used to it."
He put one hand on the iron railing and extended the other towards her. "Here - take my hand."

Gwendolyn felt her heart flutter slightly as she reached out for him. She felt positively at ease with him gently grasping her delicate hand. "Thank you for your concern Monsieur Dominic.I am a slight clutz when it comes to stairs so steep."
She fell silent for a moment to try to gather her thoughts."Um, may I ask what your duties are at this Opera House?"

Dominic led her carefully down the narrow, winding stairway. "I'm just your basic stagehand," he replied over his shoulder. "Nothing fancy. I make sure things are in working order in the rafters, help out with the props, light the stage lamps, lower and raise the backdrops during performances... that sort of thing."
They reached the backstage area and Dominic jumped lightly over the last empty stair. "This last step has been broken for months, I don't know why anyone hasn't fixed it yet." He circled his strong hands around Gwen's slim waist and set her gently on the ground.

Gwendolyn felt so wonderful.His strong hands on her svelte waist set her heart on fire with emotion.When he had released his grasp on her she tugged at her crimson gown nervously searching for words to say to him.Her chocolate mousse hair fell in front of her face . She tucked it away and gave a small chuckle.She stepped closer to him her eyes glowing with passion .
"Dominic, I know you must be very busy but maybe we could....well...meet again and tal-"
Come on Gwen he's not like him! Stop being so shy.
Gwendolyn panicked and began to step back and tripped.

Dominic reached out lightning quick and seized Gwen around the waist as she tripped on the broken step. She staggered for a brief moment before he held her straight; he suddenly realized how close their bodies were, how near their lips came as he pulled her to her feet...

Gwendolyn became a bit more tense as she could feel his cool minty breath.She felt frozen in time with only her heart beating like bongos.Her eyes were glued to him with no sign on breaking the gaze. "Dominic....Thank you...."

Dominic stared down into Gwen's amber eyes. Such an unusual shade... He suddenly took a step back, realizing how inappropriate their contact was. Just because you're nothing but a stagehand doesn't mean you can't be a gentleman! he told himself inwardly.
"But in response to your question," he said with a smile, "Yes, it would be nice to see you again."

"Whenever and wherever you want will be great for me."
Gwendolyn felt so ecstatic!She had finally found someone to love her, which was hard because nobility has it hard especially the ones with a ton of cash!She wondered though why he had stepped back from her.
Am I disgusting?Am I not pretty?Do I need a mint?

Dominic smiled back at her. "I believe there's going to be a ball held soon," he said thoughtfully. "Maybe we could see each other there?"

"Yes I would very much like that!"
Gwendolyn took a rose out of her cocoa-colored locks, that just seemed to appear from nowhere, and handed it to Dominic.The rose was the color of her luscious and glistening red lips . She gave him a dazzling smile and a small curtsy and began to walk away.
That was a most excellent gift for him to remember me by! I can't wait for the ball to start.
