trigger warning! mentions of throwing up!

  we are down to four days until the reshoot sessions are over and my part wraps today which means i'll be able to head back to georgia a little bit early. unfortunately, stasia had to stay behind today since she woke up complaining of a headache and then she texted me that she had thrown up. she felt better afterwards so i told her not to risk it and get some rest. it's mid flu season so that's probably what's going on.

"where's your lover?" claira asked as i walked into the trailer; she was going to be working on me today. "she stayed behind today, wasn't feeling good." i say and check my text messages before putting my phone down. "uh oh, what's wrong?" she asks. "she woke up with a headache and then lost whatever was in her stomach from the night before." i say and frown. "aw man, send her my best wishes." claira says as she picked up her phone. i see her type something and then put it back down.

"i uh- can i ask for some advice?" i ask out of the blue. "uh, sure." she says. "so, i can't quite read stasia enough to know if she is ready to leave new york or not. like, maybe she'd want to move in together." i ask and look around at the products sitting in front of me. "well, that's obviously a big question, especially for her. she's starting out on her career path but then you have to notice that she always wants to be with you." claira says and pats my under-eye with a small amount of concealer.

"i just, when we first got together we agreed to take things slow and nothing big should be happening right away; like proposals and babies." i say. "those are some pretty big things, yeah. but moving in is a bit different. you've been together for over six months and have known each other for longer, that's not terrible. i know people who move in with each other after weeks and are doing fine." she assures. "so you don't think it's too early?" i ask. "nah. just try it! if she says no, it's not like a deal breaking question. she might even consider it or even be considering it already like, as we speak!" she says.

after a while, i thank claira and was sent to matthew. i met up with ellie, thomas, and bridget. all i had to do was walk out onto the 'balcony' and wave with them. we all talk amongst each other for a minute until matthew yelled 'places!' in which we took our places. thomas and bridget walk out and a minute later, ellie and i are ushered to do the same. i look around and then wave at the imaginary crowd of people.

"cut!" matthew yelled and we all high-five. "you four are good! thank you so much for taking time to come out and retake these scenes, who knows what would have happened if you didn't." matthew says and wipes his forehead in relief. "so is it finally a wrap?" ellie asks and matthew nods. all five of us look at each other and yell 'that's a wrap.'

i ended up meeting with taylor once again before i left. "hey, man! everything go okay?" taylor asks. "yep! finally done once again." i say and we laugh. "i heard stasia hasn't been feeling well. i was going to text her but just send her my thoughts." taylor says. "thanks, i'm sure she'll appreciate it." i say. "when are you wrapping the idea of you?" taylor asks. "i believe we are shooting for early march. but i haven't told anyone yet that i got another part for a series on starz and i have to head back over here for six months soon after we wrap on that." i say and sigh.
