The Love That Never Fade

I Miss You, Like Crazy

"Even though it's been so long,
my love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things
that we used to do
A kiss in the rain till
the sun shined through
I tried to deny it, but
I'm still in love with you"
- Natalie Cole

Toby texted her yesterday telling Addy he safely arrived in Dublin. He went straight to the castle where they filmed last time, another 7 hours journey by road. He told her he was tired but just looking at her photo was giving him the strength to keep moving forward. He mentioned he saw the church where they filmed the scenes of Francis and Mary first meeting. He immediately thought about their wedding scene. It was like revisiting old fond memories. He admitted he started to miss her very much. He heard a song by Natalie Cole from the local radio, he immediately wrote to her:

"Hold on tight, and whatever comes our way, we're gonna make it through
It seems to believing is worth the wait. I love you. Toby xx"

Addy kept looking at her phone. The short message seemed too short that it wasn't enough to wash away her anxiety. She must kept herself busy for these 2 weeks. She shouldn't be distracted - there were many scenes to be filmed within short of time. In between she was planning to go out for shopping with Caitlin.

Addy was still waiting in the meeting room. The room was still vacant. And she saw the chair which usually occupied by Toby was empty. She sighed. In her mind, he was always there, either smiled or winking his eyes at her, playfully. She was wondering what Toby was doing right now.... Probably thinking of her too. She missed his smile. Suddenly she remembered a song lyric. That was her mom's favourite. She immediately texted him:

Sometimes I wonder
How I'd ever make it through,
Through this world without having you
I just wouldn't have a clue

"Hey, Addy."

Addy slightly startled. She immediately stopped texting. Caitlin joined her, sat next to her, together with Celine and Anna. Megan was sitting next to the co-producer. This was the usual meeting before the filming, just to make sure that everything in order and within the tight schedule.

Torr entered the meeting room with the new guy, Sean. He took Toby's empty seat. Immediately he noticed Addy opposite him and he smiled at her. She smiled back.

"Who's that guy? Looks easy in the eyes," Caitlin asked. She noticed he got quite a dreamy eyes, any girl might fell for him. Not bad looking, very manly.

"Oh... He is one of our new cast in Season 2," Addy explained. She was scrolling messages in her phone. There was no more message from Toby.

"Look like both of you already knew each other," Caitlin said, suspiciously. She noticed the man couldn't stop glance a few times at Addy.

"Yes. He was asking for help yesterday. He just met Laurie. I'm just helping him out," Addy said, not much pay attention to Caitlin's observation. She sighed. She still missed Toby.

"What character he will be given?" Caitlin asked her.

"Well, I dunno. Must be one of the supporting actors, big role... I dunno. Just wait for the announcement," Addy was slightly distracted.

"I guess he will be given a big role that give some impact between Mary and Francis. Probably a bad one, since Francis is going to be the next King of France," Caitlin said with her theories.
