Across A Crowded Room by Angela Theresa Egic (book series for 12 year olds txt) 📕

said, to me, he liked the outfit.

ME: Thank you! Good to see you again.

TIM: Yes.

TC scanned the crowd again, and gave me the wide-eyed, frightened look.

TIM: (pleading look) Get me out of here!

I pointed out that I was in the middle of the crowd.

ME: How?! It is crazy here, I know.

TC nodded at me. Then, he gave a glance to the cameraman beside me, whom I was totally ignoring. The motion TC gave me told me to be quiet (with our non-verbal conversation). Lower the facial expression. I am very animated.

I looked at the cameraman. He was NOT filming. He was watching me and TC, like one watches a tennis match. His jaw was dropped, he looked at me and back at TC.

The cameraman started to talk to me, again, though, with a facial expression, saying "Are you and him . . . ?"

I said, out loud, this time, to the cameraman, "I have to go!"

I slipped out through the crowd and went back to my seat! Before I did, I waved to TC.

TC winked at me.

SOS: SAVE OUR SOULS

This is the title of a song on one of TC's albums.

Yes, he released three albums in the late 1970s/early 80s.

In the song, the verse goes . . .

Make contact, the way we always did before.

The song is about two people, separated from ship to shore, and their only contact is in their thoughts of one another, for a time.

It was always my fantasy to have a romantic interlude with Tim Curry; and which TC, in the song, sings about.

My fantasy came true that October evening in 1990.

And except for me, and perhaps, an Entertainment Tonight Cameraman; it probably did all happen in my head!

Or did it?

I had a Hollywood romance for a few minutes. Even if it was all in my imagination!

But, isn't that what Hollywood gives us . . . fantasy. Imprint
