Before I know it the hotel phone is ringing and I can see the slightest sliver of sunshine coming through the window curtains.
"Ms. Langford, this is your wakeup call you asked for. It's 8:01. Have a nice day." The hotel employee says through the phone. I lay there for a minute, getting my Barings strait before showering and getting dressed. I don't bother to fix my hair or makeup because that's the first thing they'll do once I get on set.
I make my way to the studio a couple of blocks away from the hotel, it's nice out this morning. I've never been to Georgia before this, the weather is much like back home; hot and humid. As soon as I get on set I'm greeted by Anna and whisked away to an area with folding chairs set up in front of mirrors and tons of lights. I'm handed a water and I politely ask for a black coffee with sugar while a woman from the crew stand behind me and begins fixing my hair.
From the corner of my eye I see a tall figure walk in, his reflection in the mirror in front of me. It's Hero.
"Good morning, Tessa," he says smiling as he approaches me. He looks different today in black skinny jeans and a black t shirt than he did last night all dressed up.
"Good morning to you, Hardin," I return his smile.
"Well, did you manage to get any sleep last night? I know I did." He sits down in the folding chair next to me and another member of the crew begins fixing his hair as well. That doesn't take long, it's kind of short and stands up already so there's not much to do.
"I did actually. I fell asleep pretty much right away. I guess that flight the other day is just now catching up with me." I say looking at my own reflection in the mirror. My hair is in a ponytail and only the slightest amount of makeup has been placed on my eyes.
"Well, good. I'm going to head in there. I'll see you in a few," Hero excuses himself from the chair and I watch as he walks behind me through the doorway. He is still so handsome. And so polite. I can't help but feel grateful to have him to work with in this.
