I run my hands over my face as I open the door to Tanner's office. It was Monday and he had called me and told me he wanted to see me in his office first thing in the morning before filming started.
I got absolutely no sleep last night so I'm running off of coffee and a bowl of cereal.
The weekend had been stressful to say the least. Ever since me and Blake had caught Gracie and Daisy at dinner, Blake hasn't stopped asking my questions about her. Normally he would avoid her in conversation, but now he asks me how she is doing and if I have seen her.
I give him the same answer every time, I don't know. And I don't know why he keeps asking me because I'm the last person who would know that information. I don't pay much attention to her because frankly every time I look at her I'm reminded that I'm the reason she and my brother aren't happy.
Even though I had apologized to Blake and he forgave me, I still can't help but think that he is still miserable without her.
I think I know him better than anyone to know that he would give up everything he had just to have a second chance with her.
On another note, my dad is coming to visit for Thanksgiving, and I'm not excited to tell him about the role I'm currently in. I know he is going to go crazy and possibly call me names, but I think years of that has prepared me for it.
I know the reason why he would be upset with me signing to this role is because people get to see a softer side to me through my character. And father was always strict and made sure that I had roles that showed no sign of emotion whatsoever.
But I needed this movie... well, I needed Tanner, he was my plan of escape. And to get to Tanner I needed to be in this movie.
Speaking of Tanner, I knock on his office door before walking in. Closing the door behind me, my eyes go straight to Gracie's. I feel frozen in place. Maybe because I didn't expect to see her here at this time.
She also seems to be frozen when she sees me. She is seated perfectly in front of Tanner and it looked like they were in the middle of a conversation. I clear my throat and shut the door, breaking eye contact with her.
I hesitantly take a seat next to Gracie but keep my eyes on Tanner, ignoring the way that my ears heat up when I even notice her right next to me.
"Great, we can start." Tanner says as he looks through some papers. "I wanted to just tell you guys that you are doing well. But, I'm not seeing the chemistry that I saw the first day. And I know the reason." I don't miss the way he looks at me.
"So, today you guys are going to sit here, and talk. I don't care what you talk about, but you guys are going to talk and hopefully, go over lines and practice. We have a three month timeline since this movie has been delayed." He crosses his arms.
Talk? Talk about anything? What the heck am I even going to say to her?
"So." He stands and walks to the door. "Talk. I'll know if you don't so don't test me." With that he leaves the room and the tension rises. I lean back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest. Maybe she will speak first.
