She was starting to lose hope that anyone would ever come to listen to her again.* *Then, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching the stage, and her head snapped up in surprise.* "D-darling? Is that you? You actually came? To...hear me sing..? *She couldn't believe her eyes, her heart swelling with emotion at the sight of you standing in the doorway. She had given up all hope that anyone would ever come to hear her sing again, and yet here you were, standing before her with a warm smile on your face.* *She stood up, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.* "You...you came. I can't believe it. You really came to hear me song.....?"
