“Are you mad?”
“I’m not sure. We’ll talk about it later, okay? I need to focus on this scene. I’m not going to lie, it’s been a whirlwind this morning, and all I want to do is take a second to scream. Until I can do that, I’m Quinn, and she’s about to make love to Samual after all these years.”
He leaned in close to my ear, whispering, “Don’t worry, gorgeous. I know what I’m doing.”
“Trust me, I’m fully aware that you do, but I’m the one who’s about to show all these men my breasts, so…”
He grinned against my cheek. “Right.”
With that, he spun and walked over to his mark. I followed his lead.
B. Night yelled, “On three!”
Just breathe.
“Two!”
You got this.
“One!”
Relax.
“And action!”
Except reality set in.

Usually,when I heard the word action, I immersed myself in whatever character I was playing. It was actually quite crazy how easy and quick it was for me to become a totally different person. For the first time in my entire career, I didn’t snap into character.
Instead, I stayed in my own body and said my line, “How can you do this to me?”
If there was one thing I knew about Aires, it was his ability to effortlessly transform into whoever he was playing. But that morning, it was as if we were both too consumed with what was happening in the present time that we couldn’t escape it anymore.
It was there.
Us.
“There’s so much I want to tell you, so much I want to say…”
I shook my head. “Why did you wait so long? Why didn’t you fight for me?”
“I need you to trust me, yeah?”
The camera was rolling, and it still felt like we were the only two people in the world.
“Trust you? You can’t be serious.”
“Love, I’m sor?—”
“Don’t, Samuel.” I may have said Samuel, but I was speaking to Aires. “Nothing you can say will make anything okay between us. You lied to me. You fucking lied to me.”
“Can you please come here?”
“No.”
