“Costume. Now,” Haynes said, his voice low and angry.
“You want the clothes?” Julia said. “Take them.” She kicked off the boots, unbuttoned the trousers and shoved them down her legs. Then she whipped the blouse over her head and flung it at Londyn. “When this film flops, you’ll only have yourself to blame.” She turned and stalked away in her bra and panties.
None of the cast or crew said a thing. Like Londyn, they were likely stunned by Julia’s dramatic exit.
Haynes’s eyes narrowed as his gaze followed her off the set. “We’ll have a discussion later about your actions and your contract,” he called out, then turned and pointed at Londyn. “You have twenty minutes to get into costume, hair and makeup.”
“What scenes are we working on?” Londyn asked.
Haynes glanced at the clipboard in his hand. “We’ll shoot?? the fight scene again, then we have the big cabin fire.”
Londyn hadn’t had time to practice her lines for the fire scene. She’d only have the time it took for hair and makeup artists to work their magic to figure it out. If she remembered correctly, there weren’t many lines in that scene, just action.
When Londyn hesitated, Haynes snapped his fingers. “Go!” He glanced around. “Someone give hair and makeup the heads-up.” His assistant hustled off to find the ladies in charge of hair and makeup.
Londyn gathered the garments Julia had thrown on the ground and looked around. With no trailer to change in, she headed for the cabin.
Nash fell in step beside her. “Do you need help getting ready?”
“No, but I need a copy of the script. I left mine in my truck at the ranch.” She glanced around. “Do you remember the trailer where I got the last copy?”
He nodded.
“If you could get that for me, it’ll save me from going there and give hair and makeup more time to work on me.”
Nash frowned. “I don’t want to let you out of my sight.”
“Then find someone who can get it for me.” She stopped in front of the cabin. “Right now, I have to change.”
“After I check inside.” He opened the cabin door, stepped inside and was back out a few moments later. “It’s empty. I’ll be right back.”
“I’ll be here,” she said with a smile. She started to enter the cabin, changed her mind and caught his arm. “Thanks for being here for me.” Londyn leaned up and brushed her lips across his. “I’m getting used to having you around.”
He caught her around her waist, crushed her to him, wad of clothes and all, and claimed her lips. “I like being around,” he said. “I’ll be right back.”
“I’m counting on it,” she said a little breathlessly. She went into the cabin as Nash spun and hurried away in search of someone to run her errand.
With just minutes to make it happen, Londyn stripped, pulled on the costume designed for the barn fight scene and shoved her feet into the boots.
She was shoving her own clothes into a drawer in the prop cabinet when the door to the cabin opened behind her.
“That was fast,” she said as she turned toward Nash.
Only it wasn’t Nash standing in the doorway. It was one of the ground crew who helped with a variety of jobs, including moving equipment into position, adjusting lighting and managing props.
She frowned. “Do you need to adjust a prop in here or something?”
He nodded without speaking. His vibe was...unsettling.
Londyn gave him a stiff smile. “I was just leaving.”
As she started for the door, the man stepped in front of her.
“Excuse me,” she said. “I need to be on set in ten minutes.”
The door behind him opened.
Londyn breathed a sigh of relief. Nash would handle this guy.
