？Okay；　Thaddeus；　you　begin；？　Ken　directed；　with　his　new　cigarette　torched　in　hand。

？Holly；？　Thaddeus　recited；　from　memory？his　script　was　still　lying　on　the　couch。　？I　knew　I？d　find

you　here。？

？Will　you　always　know　where　to　find　me？？　Serena　could　see　Ken　shaking　his　head　out　of　the

corner　of　her　eye；　so　she　dropped　her　script　onto　the　floor。　She　could　do　this。　She　stood　on　tiptoe

and　leaned　into　Thaddeus？s　broad　chest。

？I　will　if　you　stand　still；？　he　pronounced　softly。　？Never　run　away　again。？

？I　promise；？　Serena　whispered。　It　was　her　last　line　in　the　film。　She　craned　her　neck；　lifting　her

face　to　her　costar？s；　offering　herself　up　to　him。　She　could　smell　toothpaste　and　nicotine　on

Thaddeus？s　warm　breath；　Kiehl？s　oatmeal　lotion　on　his　hands；　and　Tide　on　his　clothes。　She　was

barely　touching　him；　just　resting　her　hands　against　his　firm　chest；　but　she　could　feel　his　body

against　hers；　from　his　strong；　broad　back　to　his　perfect　abs；　from　his　lean　and　muscled　forearms　to

his　flip…flopped　feet。　And　she　could　feel　something　else：　a　flicker　of　electricity　in　the　air；　in　the

tiny　pocket　of　space　between　their　two　bodies。　Was　this　acting　or　was　it　real？

？Okay；？　Thaddeus　stammered。　He　took　a　step　back　and　Serena；　who　had　been　leaning　all　of　her

weight　on　him；　stumbled　a　bit。

He　laughed　nervously。　？Ken；　a　smoke？？

Ken　held　out　a　pack　of　Marlboro　Reds　and　Thaddeus　selected　one　and　coolly　lit　it。

？What？d　you　think；　Ken？？　he　asked；　looping　his　thumb　in　his　waistband。

？Good。　Better。　I　felt　more　spark　that　last　time。　But　Holly　needs　to　pick　up　the　slack。　Holly；　we

can　do　some　rewrites　if　you？re　having　trouble　with　your　lines。？

？What　do　you　mean？？　Serena　sank　into　the　worn　couch。　She　hadn？t　madetoo　many　mistakes；　had

she？

？If　there　are　too　many　words；　you　know；？　he　explained；　pronouncing　the　words　loudly　and　slowly；

like　he　was　speaking　to　someone　whose　English　wasn？t　so　good。　？If　you？re　having　trouble

remembering　all　of　them。？

Was　he　calling　herstupid？

？No；　it？s　fine；？　she　sighed　wearily。

？She？ll　get　the　hang　of　it。？　Thaddeus　sat　down　beside　her。　He　rested　his　soft　hand　on　her　bare

knee；　giving　her　leg　a　supportive　squeeze。

You　know　I　will；Serena　agreed　silently。　God；　was　she　already　in　love？　Sometimes　she　was　almost

too　easy。

No　ment。

？Of　course；　of　course；？　agreed　Ken。　？We　just　need　some　more　rehearsal　time；　I　think。　What　do

you　think；Vanessa？？

Vanessa　hadn？t　even　caught　everything　on　camera　because　they　hadn？t　given　her　enough　time　to

set　up　her　equipment。　？It　rocked；？　she　lied　enthusiastically。　After　all；　it　was　only　rehearsal。

And　by　the　looks　of　things；　they　were　going　to　needlots　more　of　them。
