"Excellent, Miss Rose," commented Haynes, who was taking notes as Annie repeated several of her (slightly) edited lines to the four, "Perfect. Thank you. We'd like to bring in Arthur and Karen now, if that's okay."
Annie's eyes widened, giving a small nod. This was her forth session of individual coaching before Season 5: The Big Bang had a read through on the 13th of January. It was now 2010, and just a few days beforehand, she had gotten the phone call that meant she had gotten the part of...herself.
