Miguel barely noticed Glenn or the agent. All his attention was on Lea
nna. She turned to him, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Miguel, I'm sorry I lied to you," she said. "I know you'll never
forgive me. But I wanted to say thank you. Because of you, I've learne
d to love my Philippine heritage. I hope someday we can be friends."
A lump rose in Miguel's throat, and he knew, suddenly, that friend
ship would never be enough. "Leanna," he began. But then he felt his b
ody slam（撞击）into the wall as Glenn pushed roughly past on his way
out the door. Miguel had barely caught his breath when Tyrone grabbed
his arm.
"You've got to take Glenn's place!" Tyrone cried. "You've got the
right build, the same shoulders-"
"Miguel hates modeling（做模特）," leanna said. "He won't do it…w
ill you, Miguel?"
Suddenly Miguel knew he'd do whatever it took to make leanna smile
. Besides, it was partly his fault that Glenn had walked out of the fa
shion show in the first place. If Miguel refused to fill in, lots of p
eople would be disappointed.
"Okay," he said. "But no makeup（化装）."
"No time for makeup." Tyrone dragged Miguel toward a rack of cloth
es. "Leanna, go tell them to delay the curtain."
"Leanna!" Miguel called. "Wait a second!"
"What?" she asked, looking hopeful.
"You can talk to her later!" Tyrone almost shrieked（尖叫）. "Put
on this suit!"
Miguel pointed to the curling iron. "The extension cord-give it to
Scott!" When the show ended, Leanna hurried backstage. She found Migu
el talking to Tyrone.
But then Miguel looked directly at her. Rescue me, his eyes seemed
to say.
"There you are!" Miguel said. "Excuse us, Tyrone. We're late for -
uh-something."…
"What was that all about?" Leanna asked as she followed Miguel dow
n the hallway.
"Tyrone keeps saying I have The Look. He wants me to enroll at Bay
side. But that's not important right now." Miguel yanked（猛拉；使劲拉
） open the first door he came to and stepped inside. "Come here, I ne
ed to talk to you."
"In a broom（扫帚） closet?" Leanna asked, stepping into a small r
oom filled with brooms.
"I guess it's not the most romantic spot," Miguel said. "But this
isn't the worst mistake I've made. My worst mistake was breaking up wi
th you."
Leanna caught her breath. "You-you forgive me?"
"I was wrong, too." Miguel swallowed hard. "When you said those th
ings to Glenn, I realized I was just as prejudiced（偏见的） as he was
. I wanted you to be part of my world, but I wasn't ready to accept yo
urs. I didn't respect the things that were important to you."
"I didn't give you the chance to know what was important to me."
Miguel's face turned crimson（深红色的）. "I felt pretty good out
on that runway," he admitted. "I see why you like it. Not that I'm rea
dy to enroll at Bayside."
"But you have The Look," Leanna teased. She took a step closer. Sh
e couldn't keep her hand from trembling（发抖） as she reached out and
brushed Miguel's silky bangs back from his forehead. "All you need ar
e some curls here…and here."
Leanna felt Miguel's arms tighten around her waist.
"Leanna," Miguel began, "can we give it another try?"
"I'm willing if you are," Leanna said. "I'm a Filipino, but I'm an
American, too. I'd like us to explore both cultures. Together." Leann
a took a deep breath and hoped she'd get her pronunciation right. "Mah
al kita, Miguel."
Surprise and pleasure lit Miguel's dark eyes. "I love you, too," h
e said. And he sealed it with a kiss.
