Baffling Move

When Talented Artist (TA) has been receiving hints that Skilled Performer (SP) is interested in him, he has made it a point to stay away from opportunities with SP. For TA, any tinge of association with SP might mean the end of his career. Without work, TA would not be able to sustain his lifestyle and fend for his family. Hence, he has consciously made efforts to avoid SP.

In addition, TA is aware of the possible bashing of fans who will assume that he wants to gain mileage by being linked with SP. Hence, TA has opted to keep things as far as possible between them. However, TA and SP work in the same area and their paths eventually cross. Still, TA keeps his professionalism when it comes to performing with SP in various shows. The same is true with SP, who has never divulged anything about his private choices despite speculations from kibitzers.

Opportunity can be strange and it came knocking at the door. This time, TA cannot avoid working with SP in an out-of-town project. Rooms were about to be assigned and SP requested to share his room with TA. He wanted a vocal coach, a role TA can fill in, as he was going to sing several songs. The request was odd, as big names usually want to have a solo room. As SP is a prized talent who can get away with everything, his request was granted. Besides, the production team was unaware of the possible real motive of SP for wanting TA as his roomie.

During the said meeting, SP allegedly smiled at TA, who, in turn, smiled back. Perhaps, TA ought to be ready for singing beyond their stage performance. However, in case TA succumbs to any moves of SP, he knows such action equals high risk for his career.

‘Desiring another person is perhaps the most risky endeavor of all. As soon as you want somebody—really want him—it is as though you have taken a surgical needle and sutured your happiness to the skin of that person, so that any separation will now cause a lacerating injury.’ ― Elizabeth Gilbert
