C.E. Case:
Leah + Sophia, Leah + Sophia. They are two of my favorite characters. Not to slight Adam, but I didn't want to push for too much with my request: When you are bored,in a good mood, could you just sum up what happens (happily, just a sentence of happy) to Leah & Sophia when they move to New York, would you? A one sentence epilogue?
C.E. Case
This answer contains spoilers…
(view spoiler)[Sure! They live happily ever after... Heh, just kidding.
Sophia moves into Leah's tiny New York apartment.
Sophia is picked up as the young ingenue lead for a cop show. It's tentatively called "Gun and Badge." Very standard, Blindspot/Blacklist/Cold Case of the week. She gets involved in a new social group made up of her co-workers. Shooting television is very artificial. She doesn't connect well to the material. Her own feelings bleed into the scenes.
Meanwhile, Leah is doing an Off-Off-Off Broadway Shakespeare show in Long Island. I forget which one. King Lear? The train ride to and from work every day is long and gives her time to brood. She's beginning to accept that she'll never be a mega star. She's not sure what she and Sophia are doing. Etc. Her ex, Grace, is her co-star. This gives them space to work out some issues.
So Leah's arc is about "learning to adult" while Sophia's is about "learning what art IS" and it climaxes in the airing of the first episode of Gun and Badge, which is more than the sum of its parts. And the associated after party, where Sophia and Leah realize they contrast and complement each other as a couple. Things are going to be just fine, and it's all very splendidly New York.
I don't know if you read my other Broadway fiction. Much of it is on A03, I'm working on putting the rest up there.
The television/art motif I played with in my failed NaNoWriMo this year, though it was more based on the behind the scenes drama of the Good Wife. My upcoming novel, Adieu Warm Sunshine, has a dancer main character, but that's really just an excuse to snark on bad theater and only hints at the existential issue of what art (dance especially) means in a dark, chaotic, violent world.
Anyway, thanks for asking. :) It's wonderful to hear people like my novel. (hide spoiler)]

Is it too much to ask that you begin work immediately on a sequel to "Little Disquietude "? :)
