Tuesday 11.27am
The day's filming was not going well - they were now on the tenth try at getting the scene right.
'Cut!' The director shouted. 'Quiet on set.'
Along with everyone else, Chris stood there and waited while the director watched the material they'd just shot.
He shook his head. 'Reset the scene, we're going again!'
'Oh, come on!' Chris complained. He'd meant to say it quietly, but several of the people near him looked up.
'Back on set in twenty, people!'
I'm gonna be late.
'You okay?' Liz asked.
'Fine.' He replied, not in the mood for a chat, and headed back to his trailer to call Becs.
She didn't answer, so he left a voicemail.
'Hey, it's Chris. Sorry, but I'm gonna be late - filming's not going well. Don't know what time yet. I'll call you when I know more.'
He'd no sooner put the phone down, than he started to worry.
Was that a bit terse? Maybe I should call back and-
He already had the phone in his hand ready to redial, when it binged.
Becs?

Becs 📚
Hi there. I got your message - hope everything's okay. Just give me a call when you know what's happening.

Chris 🤪
Everything's fine, the scene just isn't clicking so we're having to do take after take. Sorry.

Becs 📚
It's no problem.

Chris 🤪
I'll be there as soon as I can.

Chris 🤪
Sorry for making you wait around

Becs 📚
It's fine - I'm quite comfy here on the sofa, reading my book 📖 so there's no rush 😁

Chris 🤪
Okay, thanks. See you later.

Becs 📚
Bye

He put the phone down, feeling slightly better.
She's such an understanding person.
Why'd we have to be running late today of all days, though?
He was already feeling jittery, and the delay didn't help.
Maybe I should take a Xanax.
He turned the tv on to try and distract himself.
His phone binged again, but this time it wasn't Becs.

In a hurry to leave Dorito? 😉

Renner 🏹
Yeah, got somewhere you'd rather be? 😗😗😗

He shook his head at the phone, not in the mood for their teasing.

Mackie 🦆
What'd I miss?

Point Break 🏄🏼
Chris's going to be late for a hot date with his girl 🔥🔥

Mackie 🦆
A real date? Or another wild session of board games and not making out? 😉

Renner 🏹
🤣🤣 Or tv watching and not making out

Dorito 💪🏻
Give it a rest, guys. It's not a date - she's helping me and Scotty bake a birthday cake for my Mom

Mackie 🦆
Please tell me that's a joke

Dorito 💪🏻
No - she's really good at baking
