Okay, fine I’ll come. Just go make me some coffee. I need some caffeine.”
Devin smiled and walked to the door. “Yes, your highness. Everything will be ready when you come down.”
And sure enough when I came downstairs, showered and dressed, appropriately this time, Devin had made coffee and even some eggs and bacon.
I enjoyed my coffee and food before I finally began to feel decent.
“You look a lot better,” Devin commented.
“Thanks. Way to make a girl feel ugly before,” I laughed.
“I didn’t mean it that way. You always manage to find the wrong meaning behind my words.” He ran his fingers through his spiky hair in frustration.
“It’s not my fault your words sound like insults and somehow you always manage to be cryptic too.”
Devin smiled. “I’ll try to be less cryptic for your benefit. Now if you are ready, we need to get going.”
Chapter Six
W hen we arrived at the studio, I decided to work on the assignment Dr. Stone had given me while Devin did whatever it was that he did. He hadn’t said anything about what had happened last night, and I was grateful for that. Still, having finally spoken to someone about The Incident made it easier to write about it. Devin and I worked silently, side by side, for over an hour. I was surprised by how comfortable it felt.
A few minutes after I finished. Robert knocked on Devin’s door. “They just finished recording a scene for a new episode and Terry wanted to watch what they had finished yesterday. He wants it ready for Wednesday’s airing and the closer it gets to Wednesday, the more anxious and upset he gets.”
“Good news. I just put the finishing touches on it, so let me just put it on a drive for him,” Devin said, turning back to face his computer. He pulled a jump drive out and plugged it in.
“Hey, Christy, long time,” Robert joked.
“Ha ha. Nice to see you again, Robert.”
“I’m starting to think Devin likes having you around. Though I see he gave you enough time to get ready today.” Robert smiled.
I chuckled. “Yeah, well I put up a good fight.”
“So what brings you here? I remember hearing that you work at a law firm.”
“Taking a sick day. I, uh, actually woke up with a killer headache.”
“She was hung over,” Devin called out.
“Thank you, Devin, for exposing me so openly.”
“I do it out of love.”
I shook my head as Robert laughed. “So that means you went out with Larissa?”
I nodded. “Yes. By the way, do you know where I might find them? They are under the wrong impression about something.”
“They just finished shooting a scene. They’re probably getting ready for the next one while Terry looks through the footage he just shot and waits for Devin.”
“Who is done and ready to work on the next thing on his long list of things to do,” Devin announced, handing Robert the drive. He turned to me. “Maybe you can go with Rob and meet up with Larissa. Maybe even waste a few hours watching them film a scene or two.”
I stood up eagerly and nodded my head then followed Robert out of Devin’s office. “Thanks for letting me do this. I’ve always wondered what it’s like to shoot a scene.”
“No problem. I know you were probably getting stir crazy in Devin’s office.” Rob flashed his badge at the security guard. “She’s with me. Devin gave her the drive to give to Terry,” he fibbed but the guard didn’t question us, only let us through.
“So this is where they film most of the scenes unless it requires us to go on location but that’s very rare.” Robert began to point out things as we made our way through the maze of people, props and tables set up with food and various other items. My gaze was everywhere, soaking it all in. It was my first time on a set, surprising since we lived in California and had a friend who worked for a studio.
“Terry!” Robert called out and a man turned his head. He was probably in his fifties with salt and pepper
