I miss working with her, but it's my fault that nothing ever happened between us.

Lauren hasn't replied to my emails in 7 years. I gather she was pretty upset with me after the song cycle. Though, honestly, I did ask her out after the cycle was done.

We'd been out before, but that was business, while this was me inviting her to hear Ravel. -

She didn't say no in a mean way; she was just busy. Though I never said it, I'm pretty sure that she knew I was in love with her. -

I think I hurt her feelings regarding that Alice in Wonderland show. I didn't say anything too negative, but my mumbled review wasn't glowing. That was the last time I saw her.
