Re: LIVING ROOM (Near the fireplace): Hugh C./Rafe J.
Hugh tended to go a little crazy if he didn't go to parties or see people, and while the hiding from people he'd done had been his idea - he'd realized in retrospect that maybe it hadn't been the best of one, because he definitely needed to be around people, and going back to the stage had felt incredible, and even with the sometimes mentions in reviews or articles, he still preferred it to having hid. He was in a healthier place than he'd been in a long time.
"One of the things I feel as if I've learned this year, is that I definitely need the stage, but it wouldn't have to be professional I don't think, if that door closed. I could do other sorts of theatre probably and I could make other things work. But," he paused before he said anything about money. After all, with this house, it would seem ridiculous, and it maybe was when you considered the fact that he did have money. "Options are still good."
Hugh laughed lightly, a light huff of air as he grinned. "That sounds potentially positive all around. It's good to have local friends. And good to have things not blow up in your face," he added with a shake of his head and a tip of his glass. "I rarely take that for granted any more, and honestly it's worth fucking drinking to."
