“So how much make up do you usually wear?” Leigh was holding her chin gently tilting her face in one direction and then the other. Cassandra shrugged.

“I don’t, not really. A little mascara and some lip gloss is about all I can manage. I only ever really had my face done for my senior prom and my senior pictures.” Leigh nodded thoughtfully.

“I see. Well, you’re skin is beautiful, I hope you know.” Cassandra blushed and the make up artist smiled.
“You don’t know how hard it is to find someone in this business pure enough to blush.”

“I guess I don’t.” Cassandra shrugged. She sat still while Leigh attacked her with brushes and pots, sticks and pads. If this was what it meant to really wear make up, she was glad she didn’t.

It seemed to take hours for her face to be done. When Leigh finally stepped back with a satisfied smile, Cassandra reached up to touch it. Her hand was slapped away.

“Don’t you dare ruin all my work!” Cass rolled her eyes and went to look in the mirror. Leigh stopped her.
“I haven’t done your hair yet. You can’t look at a masterpiece that’s incomplete.”

“Okay. Fine.” Cass sighed and slouched down in the chair. Leigh pinched her shoulder.

“Sit up straight!”

“Why is this so hard?” the girl whined. The make up artist just laughed and began to pull and tug at her hair, pinning it tightly and twisting. Cassandra could only grit her teeth and try not to whimper.

“There,” Leigh finally said softly. She turned the chair around and let Cassandra see herself in the mirror. She gasped as her eyes widened.

Her eyes seemed wide and sparkling, and her lips were pouting and just dark enough to catch your eye. Her skin had been powdered just enough to even out the tone, and light blue shadow was dusted across her eyelids. There was just a hint of blush in the apples of her cheek, like when she was slightly excited.

Leigh had curled her hair and pinned it up on top of her head so it spilled down in a sort of ponytail.

“Well?” the makeup artist crossed her arms over her chest. Cassandra could only continue to stare.

“I look beautiful.” She finally managed. She was already wearing her costume, a light blue, slinky little thing cut up the middle to her knees.

“Oh, Cassandra, you’re beautiful without the make up.” Leigh smiled. “Even if you don’t see it, you really are.”

“Thank you,” Cass smiled at the woman who could only bite her lip before smiling back.

“It’s what I get paid to do, anyway.”

She lay as still as possible in the box onstage. Her hands were shaking, and she was sure that everyone in the audience could hear her heart pounding in her chest. Suddenly, she felt like a little girl playing in Mommy’s closet and make up. Everything felt too garish.

“And now, I will saw my lovely assistant in half!” Criss declared, to the joy of everyone watching. Cassandra looked at him fearfully. He winked at her and smiled warmly, and she felt the ice block melting from the pit of her stomach.

She sucked in her breath when the saw began making that horrible grinding noise and closed her eyes tightly. Criss had told her doing rehearsals not to do that, but she couldn’t help it. What was she supposed to do, pretend to be calm while he pretended to saw her right in half?

Pretending. It all came down to pretending. She was pretending that everything back home never happened. He was pretending that he actually liked her. She was pretending she didn’t care whether or not he liked her. It was all just pretending.

Close your eyes. Make believe. Pretend for just one second…Applause seemed to shake her away, and Cassandra felt like she was falling back to the stage with a slam. The trick was over.

Criss opened the box and let her out. She smiled and bowed, her knees trembling slightly.

“Let’s hear it for my lovely assistant!” Criss said. More applause. She smiled again before wobbling off the stage, only to slip into JD’s arms when she made it back stage.

“Oh my God,” she gasped, feeling her face go hot. “That was insane.”

“You did perfectly though.” JD patted her before releasing her. “It wasn’t even your first time on the stage, though, why were you so nervous?”

“Because there’s a difference between everyone watching me while I lay in a box and when I’m handing Criss a deck of cards.” Cassandra rolled her eyes, feeling her adrenaline return to normal.

She had been ducking on stage all night to give Criss the little things he needed during the act. And no one had seemed to take much notice of the figure in blue, floating off and on the stage.

Her employer did one or two more tricks, and then announced the end of the stage.

“And let’s hear it for Cassandra. It was her first day on the job, and I think she did beautifully.” He gestured to the wings where she was waiting. JD gave her a little nudge, and she almost stumbled out.

Almost shyly, she went and stood next to Criss. He reached out and grasped her hand, and she smiled almost instantly. Together, they took a bow and the curtain came down.

“Oh wow!” Cassandra turned to look up at Criss, eyes sparkling for real. “That was amazing. I—I never dreamed that it could feel quite like that.”

She was fairly babbling, but he was able to look at her, really look at her for the first time all night. She looked like a full grown woman and not a girl.

Which was probably why he caught her chin between his fingers gently. Cassandra stopped talking abruptly, confused.

Cassandra Gabrielle didn’t even look like a ‘Cass’ at that moment. She really looked like she had grown into her name. She was really a woman, or at least she was in that moment, her eyes staring at him, her lips parted just a little bit.

And that was probably the reason that he bent his head down to hers and pressed his mouth against hers.
