That, I admit, was a little bittersweet for me. But just a few minutes later I saw Nate and Isabel and Auggie make their way backstage,
and they all seemed so happy. Everyone was congratulating the actors, patting them on the back.
It was that crazy backstage theater mayhem where sweaty actors stand euphoric while people come worship them for a few seconds.
In that crush of people, I noticed Auggie looking kind of lost.
I cut through the crowd as fast as I could and came up behind him. “Hey!” I said. “Major Tom!”

“I wasn't up to it,” I said. “But Via was great, don't you think?” He nodded.
Two seconds later Isabel found us. “Miranda!” she said happily, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

“How are you feeling?” Isabel said to me. “Via told us you got sick...” “Much better,” I answered.
