CHUCK SIGHED, FRUSTRATED WITH THE entire situation. “You know this is the first time I’ve seen you since Pop’s, J.” he said, “You know the heart wasn’t me. So why cast me out?”
CHUCK STOOD ALONGSIDE BETTY backstage, quietly observing the action happening up front. The performance was going well so far, better than they planned. Still, Chuck was still distracted by earlier events. His ‘pariahship’ as Veronica put it was over but he knew for some he still had a long way to go. He turned his head and lowered his voice and said. “I noticed you didn’t really say much back there.. You don’t agree with V, huh?”
Sure, she’d nodded and smiled, but that could’ve just been her being civil.
“ AHH… FLATTERY WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE. Much appreciated Chuck. I didn’t realize you held a legitimate interest in the Arts. ” Chuck Clayton turning over a new leaf perhaps on that long road to redemption. Well, she supposes she can relate to that. And they have joined forces in the past. Why not?
“ I could offer some tips. But I’d rather you tell me what your angle is first. Are you really here to toe the line or is there still that rebel scratching at the door you've locked him behind?”
CHUCK SMILED LIGHTLY, BROWN eyes briefly drifting down to his feet and back up before saying. “Yeah, I don’t know.. I figured I’d try it. Heard Reggie dropped out and hit up Kevin. Thought I might be good at it.” he shrugged.
He was surprised but also pleased. He genuinely did want to improve. “Nah, there’s no angle. I’m forreal.” he said, “I really meant it when I said I’m not like I was before.”
