Good Boy, Sad Girl

16: Danielle

I can't help but smile as I pull into the parking lot at work. I have such an exciting plan for tonight.

I walk into my trailer and put everything in there before walking to set.

Noah and I arrive at the same time. He opens the door for me and says, "Looks like I'm starting to be just as early as you."

"Nobody can be earlier than me" I gesture across the set rooms. "Look, nobody else is here yet, not even Allison."

"She's over there," Noah says and points.

"Dang it," I mumble.

Noah laughs at me. "How did you expect to be earlier than Allison?" he asks. "She's the director."

"I don't know," I say. "I'm just used to being the first person to arrive."

Huey approaches us and shakes our hands. "It's my last day here watching y'all film, but I'm very proud of how the movie is turning out."

"Thank you so much," I say

"Thanks, it means a lot coming from the author himself."

We walk over to the set they have for Iris's house. Today is one of my favorite scenes from the book. After their fight, Clyde comes to Iris's home and gives her apology cupcakes that say 'Sorry, Forgive Me?' on top of the frosting.

"Action!" Allison exclaims.

Clyde knocks on the door, and I open it. I see Clyde standing there holding a tray of cupcakes that 'Sorry, Forgive Me?' I smirk and grab the tray of cupcakes.

"Thanks!" I exclaim and close the door.

He starts knocking on the door again. I go set the cupcakes down and come back to open the door.

"What?!" I say, trying to sound frustrated.

"I was hoping that we could talk," He says with his signature smile.

After we film our first three scenes, we get a lunch break. Noah and I grab a few things from Craft Services before going back to my Trailer.

"Filming has been going well," I say.

"Yeah, it has. It's hard to believe that filming will be over in six weeks."

"Yeah, I can't believe that filming has gone by so quickly." I say, "Three weeks of filming are already done, and it doesn't feel like it."

"It doesn't," Noah agrees. "I don't know if I'm sad or excited that filming is going to be over soon, and it's a bittersweet moment."

We talk for a few more minutes before it's time to get back to filming the rest of our scenes.

"Noah, before I forget," I say, "Meet me at the garden set before you leave."

"Why?" He asks.

"You'll find out," I say as I leave my Trailor.

I'm so excited for after work today, but also kind of nervous.

This is the big moment that I've been waiting for.

After we finish filming our final scene for the day, I walk back to my trailer and grab my stuff.
