She had everything set to the last detail. He had already arrived at the restaurant and called her almost a dozen times. She ignored each one, and from the curtains behind the stage, She saw his anger boil by the minute. But this had to be done, for the surprise to be actually perfect; She had to avoid any and all communications till the right moment. The hostess, nudged her to get ready to get on stage, and She took a deep breath and walked up the stairs. The crowd began a roar of claps to cheer her on as they knew it was her first performance.

She closed her eyes and began singing. She imagined his smile, how happy He would be to hear his favourite yesteryear number. She got so lost in the song, that when it was finished She was in tears.
