(some of) the authors:

Q: What was it like to first hug Caroline, as she was, and tell her not to cry, and then to hear your name called and see Caroline waiting for you offstage? What was the experience like?

Laila: Yeah, it was really special. We've been talking about this for a long time, but nothing could really prepare you for it. So, caught me off guard, and after I gave her a hug, I started crying, and I couldn't stop. 

Yeah, it was interesting, but I was just so excited to hear her name, and for her to be one of the first people I saw, you know, when I went back behind the curtains was really special.

Q:  And what's it going to be like, well, you're on the same coast, but you're on different teams now?
