I feel the blush coming back, reclaiming its territory over my neck and face, but my brain steps in before my misguided infatuation can take over again. “Yes, lucky you have a Jane Austen fan in your proximity.”
“No, I’m lucky to have a Lucy Taylor in my life.” Matching his words, his gaze is more serious than I was expecting.
As he said before, he believes love is manufactured for the media and not real. Yes, I will need to repeat that to myself every time I think about him whispering Mr. Darcy’s words in my ear.
“Yes, of course, let’s get started on your list then,” Isay in an attempt to move the conversation along before my hopeless romantic heart gets control of me again.
Later that night, I receive many texts from Finn and Oliver, cursing my name for placing the task of bringing Henry into the social media age on them. It’s not long before I receive the request from the “Henry Brooks - Official” account, pleasantly surprised to see that it is already verified. Very impressive. I take note of the very handsome black and white headshot they used for his account photo. I’m sure that alone will gain him many followers.

It’s beentwo weeks since joining the innovative world of social media, and I’m already experiencing the impact. Lucy was a genius to suggest this and her photo ideas are incredibly simple and yet getting tons of attention. The account shows I have over a million followers, but that can’t be correct. Aren’t there more interesting things to do on the Internet than watch for a random photo I post each day?
Mark and I have been in contact, but there has been no movement in either direction from Viewmont Productions yet. I can handle no news—as long as they haven’t signed someone else, I still have a chance in this race. Although I am no less angry, they are making me put on such a show, simply for a chance at the movie that I have earned the right to be their first choice after working for them most of my career.
In addition to virtual popularity, Lucy and I have been in daily contact, even though I suppose she has already sent enough photo ideas for weeks’ worth of content. I liketo get her approval on them before I post. Sometimes, she comes up with catchy captions, others she insists need no caption. “It’s better to leave it a mystery,” she says.
We are getting closer. Aside from the social media posts, we have started sharing the events of our days with each other, and joking has increased as well. I look forward to seeing her name on my phone.
