This manip is kind of what this one shot is about. The book is the only inaccurate thing for this shot.

11:15pm.

Camila was tired.

She was tired because she has been sitting up all night waiting for the call to come through. This is what sucked about being a successful businesswoman. Late nights for late night Skype calls. This call is one of the most important she has ever done before.  Of course it would be the call that would define if she got a promotion or not. Of course she had to be exhausted and looking like shit for it.

11:20pm.

Lauren was tired.

She was tired of Camila always having late nights because of work, Lauren never got a full nights sleep because she was always worried about Camila not getting enough sleep. Lauren knew that this was Camila's job and she had to deal with it but it didn't mean she liked it. Lauren would always stay up and wait for Camila to finish her calls and when Camila finally did come to bed, Lauren would pretend to be asleep to ease the other girl.

Tonight was different though.

Lauren was going to go straight to sleep and Camila's job was on the line.

11:25pm.

Lauren had the hobby to sleepwalk and Camila always found it hilarious, she would always catch the best moments on her phone and the next morning Lauren would demand her to delete it. Camila did. Then she recovered it from her recently deleted later on. Lauren didn't know, but all 408 of Camila's facebook friends did and all of their friends and then their friends and so on. One day Lauren found this video of her on facebook when Dinah tagged her in it. She had never been so embarassed before in her life but once realising the humour in it all she let it slide. She let Camila have her facebook fame for a bit. Even if it was her embarassement.

Camila was sitting in the living room with her laptop on the table in front of her, her coffee beside it with some cookies and her papers.  11:27pm. The call would be coming through soon. Camila was nervous for sure, she was biting her finger nails, after deciding maybe that it was a bad idea, she set to biting the cookies.

11:28pm. Lauren was fast asleep, she was mumbling in her sleep. She was dreaming about the future, what it would be like when her and Camila would be married and have little Camren's running around. She didn't know it at the time but maybe the reason Camila was so nervous about this interview was because it wasn't just a promotion, it was a decision. A decision between staying with Lauren or moving away to New Zealand to be an judge of a high court and leaving Lauren. She really needed the job but she needed Lauren. She knew Lauren wouldn't come with her because the promoters won't allow it. She knew Lauren would have to stay because of her job as a teacher. She loved those kids, she wouldn't leave them behind.

11:29pm. Downstairs Camila took a gulp of her coffee before taking a deep breath. In a minute her life could change for better or worse. Saying she was nervous was an understatment. She was absolutely terrified. She didn't know what to do. She knew she was thinking ahead but she couldn't help it. What was wrong with being a little prepared?

11:30pm. Right as the clock ticked over she had an incoming call. Taking a deep breath she accepted it and waited a couple of seconds until two faces popped up on her screen.

"Good Evening Miss Cabello. We're sorry for having to call you so late but there is nothing we can do with the timezones." He didn't even look up from his papers, his accent was strange and his tuxedo didn't look appealing at all. Maybe staying at her current job didn't look too bad.
