He stopped then, and pushed me back against the wall, one hand behind my head, while the other rested on my waist. “You’re not causing problems, and even if you were, I wouldn’t be complaining. I love the fact that you’re new to this… that you’ve never done any of it before, and I really don’t care how much drama you bring to my door.”
“You’d just like a break for one night?”
“I think this evening will be dramatic enough as it is.”
“Oh?”
“We’re watching the show… remember?”
I’d forgotten about that, what with worrying about Vivian, and I nodded my head. “It’ll be fine, Mac.”
“I hope so.”
I could sense his nerves, and leaned up to kiss him before we continued on our way down the stairs again.
Fortunately, we’ve had a busy morning, so I’m not sure he’s been able to worry too much about tonight’s screening, but aseveryone files out of the rehearsal room for lunch, I go over to him.
“Are you okay?” he asks, before I get the chance.
“I’m fine.”
“Better than yesterday?” He pulls me into his arms, looking down at me.
“Much.”
He seems more interested in me than tonight’s events, and I decide to keep it that way… at least for now. There’s no point in reminding him…
“Shall I make some coffee?” he says, and I nod my head, pulling my phone from my back pocket.
“Sure. I’ve just got to call Hunter.”
He frowns. “Who’s Hunter?”
“My big brother.”
His frown clears in an instant, and I wonder if I’m not the only one who has moments of insecurity.
“I’ll leave you to it.”
He wanders off to the side kitchen and I sit at the table, connecting my call.
Hunter answers on the second ring, with a surprised, “Hello.”
“Hi.”
“Drew and I were only talking about you the other day,” he says. “We were wondering if you’d emigrated.”
“That’s hilarious, Hunter. I’ve been busy, if you must know.”
“Doing what?”
“Working.”
“I see,” he says. “And I guess you’re not allowed to give me any details?”
“As it happens, that’s why I called.”
“Oh?” He sounds even more surprised now.
