Chapter 22.
Two weeks later
A couple of weeks later, Will was on his way to the theater where Romeo and Juliet was playing, with Jack starring as Romeo. Jack had managed to get a couple of tickets for him and if Karen wanted to come, she could too.
Will had changed into a black suit with a white shirt and white tie and looked really handsome. He thought he was going alone.
Just when he was on his way out to go to the theatre, Karen's bedroom door opened and revealed a Karen he hadn't seen for quite some time now.
He let his eyes wander from her toe to her head and almost sat down on the floor all amazed about how beautiful she looked.
She wore her black slingback Chanel shoes, a black long dress that followed every curve of her body beautifully and she had a black wrap-around around her arms. Her make-up was done and her hair was let down, hanging over her shoulders.
Will grabbed a hold of the doorframe to steady himself.
"Wow, Karen" he got out. "You look stunning."
She blushed a little and said:
"Thank you. You look handsome Will."
"Thank you."
Will couldn't take his eyes off of her, but finally he pulled himself up and offered her his arm. She took it and together they walked out to the limo waiting to take them to the theatre.
Their tickets was front row tickets and they sat down, Will noticing all the appreciating looks Karen got from men around them, but she didn't see them. She only had eyes for Will and the stage. She didn't dare to look at anything else, in case she couldn't manage being there and she wanted to be there, she wanted to see Jack. She did so much better and every therapy session helped her get better.
Her path towards healing was now a smoothly running road and Will was so proud of her and he told her over and over again that he was.
It had been almost half a year since it happened and she was doing much better, in spite of all the bumps in the road and sometimes she had reached some deadends or she had even made som u-turns but now she was going straight forward, which made Will so happy.
Suddenly the curtain fell and the play started.
An hour or so in the play Jack stood at the side of the stage for the dancescene in the Capulet home.
"Did my heart love till now, forswear it sight, for I ne'er saw true beauty till this night" Jack said.
Just when he said "true beauty till this night" his eyes somehow landed on Karen on the frontrow and he lit up. He quietly mouthed 'Hi' to her. She waved and smiled back at him.
Jack got back to the scene and continued on.
Karen leaned her head on Will's shoulder while the play went on. She was so proud of Jack, her poodle was starring in a play written by Shakespeare.
The three hours the play took, they both enjoyed so much.
When the prince exclaimed:
"For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo" the curtain went back up and the theatre turned into a room full of thunders from the clapping and stomping from the audience.
"Hi guys" Jack greeted when Karen and Will hand in hand entered his dressing room. "Karen, I'm so glad you made it. You too Will."
"Yeah, we are too, Jack you were amazing" Will said and gave his friend a big hug.
"Yeah, poodle, you were fantastic" Karen said and cautiously gave him a hug.
"Thank you guys. And might I say that you look really beautiful tonight Karen" Jack said and smiled.
"Thank you Jackie" she blushed a bit.
"You do Karen" Will said and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
She blushed even more.
"What do you guys say we go back to the mansion and celebrate" Will said. "Our Jackie has the lead in a Shakespeare play, that's gotta be worth celebrating, don't you think?"
Karen nodded and took Jack's hand.
"Come on Jackie" she said.
All three of them went out to the limo and went home. At home they were met by a worried Grace.
"My goodness, we forgot to call her and say that I was going with you" Karen said when she saw her.
"Sorry Grace" Will said when they got out of the limo. "We forgot to call you. Karen went with me to see Jack."
"I understood that but I got a little worried anyway" Grace said and took a glance at Karen. "Wow Karen, you look amazing."
Karen smiled and blushed slightly again.
"Thank you Grace."
