When? Not If?

Matt sat in the dressing room with his script in hand as the make-up artist powdered his face. This was unlike him. He was unable to focus, and he was struggling with his lines. 

Over the last couple of days, all he had been focused on was Candace and trying to come up with a solution for her problem, hoping that she would reconsider a relationship with him after she was settled. And then after realizing that he had been lied to that night, he had kept his lines off and had been disinterested in everyone and everything. 

He wasn't usually one to brood, but he had wanted to be left alone. And then after staying alone for most of the day on Sunday, he had invited some girls over to have a good time with him in the evening, getting wasted. He had hoped they would help him get Candace out of his system, but that didn't seem to work.
