Orpheus: I want to see you at some point every day for the rest of our lives
I’m beginning to think musical relationships like Tony and Maria from West Side Story and Laurey and Curly from Oklahoma! Might actually be why I have ridiculously high standards.

an artistic interpretation of exactly what he’s talking about
[I.D.: An image of Laurey and Curly from the 2019 revival of Oklahoma! Laurey is a Black woman in her 30s with medium-dark skin and long curly dark hair. Curly is a white man in his 30s with short curly dark hair. Laurey smiles, her eyes closed, she dances to the music that Curly plays on his guitar. Curly looks at her smiling, slightly slouching. Laurey’s hand almost reaches his arm. They have a text ‘Don’t dance all night with me…’ written above them in small cursive. End I.D.]

They’re both covered in blood. Laurey looks at Curly with a wide-eyed, terrified expression, she wears her white wedding dress and a white flower in her hair. Curly looks at her with a neutral, calm expression, he wears a white suit. End I.D.]
