Donna’s fingers are working their way up one of the most muscular thighs she’s ever seen, and in her line of work, she’s seen several. As the head costume manager for the historic Chicago Theater’s annual tribute to Shakespear, Donna doesn't have time for men, not that they ever look past the size 2 actresses to see her. The one bright spot in her day? Daniel McGrath. The man is all tension and muscle, and every night, twice on Saturday and Sunday, Donna gets to “feel him up,” as any good costume designer would, you know, just to make sure his tights are always in the right place... Truly full-figured, Donna sizes herself up as wearing at least a 20. Always one for function, she’s never seen without her multi-pocketed overalls, glasses and a bun or floppy braid. Breaking from her denim routine for the sake of the cast party at a high end Chicago club, Donna slips into a black and pink lacy number complete with slits in the right places and all of her curves on display.Daniel McGrath is trying his best to avoid the younger girls stalking him when he accidentally steps on someone. He is dumbfounded that the low neck-lined woman knows his name, until he sees her talking to the rest of the cast. Standing as close behind her as he possibly could, she turns and looks up at him, it’s then he recognizes those eyes that had been gazing up at him every day for weeks. He just never thought she was hiding such tasty assets under those coveralls!
