Story

What would you do if you were walking along the street and a cute little lady rushed up to you and gave you a smashing kiss, as if you’d known each other for years? And how does one remain cool as a cucumber when you’re busy with an important audition and the chair you are sitting on gets hotter and hotter until you have to jump up in discomfort to save your behind?
