Florence POV

The Golden State of California, we are finally home... well for now. I've missed the sun shining, the warm air, the smell of the ocean and definitely not the traffic or paps.

We had landed at LAX about five minutes ago, the flight wasn't horrible. It was peaceful which was nice and surprising. I wish just excited to be back, even if it's only for a few months.

We hadn't had the chance to deboard yet, as we were pulling up to the gate. I turned my phone off of airplane mood to be immediately basked in the sounds of my notifications going off like crazy.

I sighed as I saw the amount of missed calls from my manager, the litter of texts as well asking me to call her as soon as possible. I sighed a little before getting an email notification.

I was a little confused as I looked at it before clicking it. I read it over before noticing it had an attachment that read, new contract.

I hesitated for a second before clicking the contract. I read it over a little before furrowing my brows as I kept scrolling through this contract.

"Oppenheimer? Director Christopher Nolan?", I thought to myself before showing my phone to Anastasia who looked at it confused.

She took my phone and read over the contract as well before smiling a little as she handed me back my phone. I shrugged a little before locking my phone and waking our little sleeping beauty who was in the seat between us.

"Aurora, wake up we're in California now", I whisper softly and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Home?", she whispered out making Anastasia laugh a little as we both stood up.

She helped Aurora out of her seat before Aurora stepped into the aisle as I got out into the aisle. I swooped Aurora up before the three of us walked off to the gate.

I followed behind Anastasia while holding onto Aurora who probably fell back asleep as we walked off the bridge. She stopped in the waiting area for us before we walked over to the security that had our last names written on a board.

"We will be escorting you three to your car, another guard is waiting for your bags. The paparrazi are crowding around the main entrance when they got word you both were on this flight", he says and we both nodded a little.

I held my grip a little more on Aurora as we followed him before seeing the other guard walking over with a trolley. He had all of our bags on the trolley before walking behind us as the other walked just ahead.

"We'll stop for food on the drive back", Anastasia tells me and I nodded.

"Fries right?", I ask and she laughed before nodding.

"Of course", she whispered as we were escorted towards the doors.

I had signed the contract the day we got back home, but what I wasn't expecting was to find out we started filming the next day. So here I am, sitting in a dressing room getting ready to film.

I wasn't a major character in this film, but I was needed on set every day which is definitely going to suck for me. The film apparently wasn't supposed to take long to film, which was also a little nice compared to my past projects.

But I will have to be on this set every single day for the next two months or so. Which is what sucked the most, except weekends because I told Christopher that I wanted my weekends with my fiancee and our daughter and he was okay with that.
