Santana's mind was...blank, for the lack of a better term. She stared at the black and white keys of the piano in front of her and desperately tried to come up with something acceptable, but she just couldn't bring herself to. This had been happening a lot in the last few days, the young composer would sit at her piano, try to compose something, anything that could get her out of that limbo and then, defeated, move to her bed and take a nap. That day was different though, she decided to take a walk around her beautiful neighborhood and see if anything could trigger the creative side of her, which seemed to be locked away somewhere at that moment. She put on a coat, grabbed her keys and left.


On that stage, Brittany was in her element. The young woman was absolutely passionate about acting. Having achieved at the young age of 21 what some can only dream of, the Broadway actress was the star of a revival of Chicago. That night, like many others in the last month, had been a success. As soon as she left the stage, some of the crew and cast lined up to congratulate her. After politely talking to every person, she took a deep breath in as the cold New York air hit her face.


Santana walked in the park under the darkness of the night, hugging her own body to keep herself warm. This was a bad idea, she thought. The girl looked at everything around her, taking in the scenery of the park in the cold January night. The park was empty, due to the fact that it was, well, snowing. Deciding that she was done with her impromptu walk, she spotted a small coffee shop and decided to get some hot chocolate.


Brittany was tired, very tired, but that had never stopped her from having dinner at her best friend Rachel's café every night after her show. She smiled as she saw Rachel, in an apron, taking some customer's orders.

"Hey, Rach!" the blonde said with a smile.

"Hey, Brittany, how was the show?" the brunette replied.

"Well, it was good, nothing out of the ordinary."

"So, you want your usual?" asked Rachel, and the blonde nodded in return.


Santana was sitting in a booth way in the back of the coffee shop, holding her cup of hot chocolate as if it was the last drop of water in the desert. She wasn't really paying much attention to anything around her, preferring to mind her own business instead. But her head shot up her when she heard the bell in the door jingle as a woman walked in.

Santana stared at her for a few moments, there was just something about that blonde that intrigued her. She was undeniably beautiful, and the way her smile lit up her face while she talked to the tiny owner of the coffee shop didn't escape Santana's eyes. She watched as the woman sat in her booth and waited for her order. Okay, this is getting kind of creepy, she thought to herself. She got up, left the coffee shop and headed home, the blonde's beautiful face never leaving her mind.

As Santana entered her beautiful apartment, she noticed that the door was already unlocked. Smiling, she called out, "Hayley, are you there?"

"In the kitchen!" the younger Latina replied.

Santana headed to the kitchen, kissed her little sister's cheek and hugged her.

"I missed you! You hardly ever visit me anymore."

"Yeah, sorry about that, you know how demanding NYU can be..."

"I sure do...Hey, what are you cooking? Smells delicious."

"It's your lucky day, sis. I'm making you my famous risotto!"

"It's not your risotto, Hayley. It's mom's recipe," Santana giggled.

"Yeah, yeah, details..." The younger Latina dismissed her sister's comment.

"Hum, Hayls, I'm gonna head to the music room now. I gotta play something that's in my head. Will you call me when it's ready?"

"Yeah, no problem."

Santana dropped her keys on the kitchen table and headed to the music room with renewed enthusiasm. Ever since she had seen the blue eyed blonde in the coffee shop, she had a melody inside her head and she was just dying to write it down. She sat down at her piano, played a few keys and smiled. She was in for a long night of composing.
