The performance pressure was off her. Vashti could handle the next hour or so. She looked at the cast list again and identified each person by name and vocal parts. The altos and basses stayed with Vashti while the sopranos and tenors off to the boardroom with Carmen and Micaela. An hour later, Vashti asked Billie Joe to bring everyone back into the auditorium so she could hear the full chorus. The fourth time through, Moira called it a day. Vashti would have kept the chorus there all night if it had been up to her. Several cast members came over before they left to give Moira a personal welcome to Bosque Bend, take selfies with her, and express belated condolences regarding Colin’s death. As always, she told herself they meant well, fixed a sad smile on her face, and said, “Thank you. I miss him still.” And, as always, her throat caught on the lie. She hated being such a hypocrite, but there wasn’t any other choice.
