Friday morning. Leah, Andrew and I woke up early to work out at Equinox. Paparazzi waned for us outside after.
We finished blocking the film during rehearsals.
Andrew and Carrie had a date night after filming and left the lot headed to ShabooKaboo.
After the long week of rehearsals, Leah and I invited Simon to join us for dinner at Yum Yum and then hang out at the Shire.

At YumYum, the three of us collapsed onto our table in the back of the restaurant.
"I am so tired," Leah said.
"Me too." I agreed.
"I think everything is going OK so far," Simon said
"Yeah." Leah and I said together. Pretending to fall asleep on the table.
"Thanks for inviting me to hang out," Simon said.
"Are you kidding? " Leah asked, "Don't thank us, we like you."
"Either way... I know going to Starbucks with Carrie was manufactured."
"True, but that is good for all us," Leah said.
"Yeah you two really are the stars of the film," I said.
"I wish I would have known about the planned paparazzi, Carrie looked hip and beautiful and I looked lame next to her."
"I'm sure you looked fine, but stick with us and know we'll always have your back," Leah said.
My black Louis Vuitton duffle ready, I turned to Simon.
"When we leave Yum Yum the three of us will be photographed leaving, probably about the same time Carrie and Andrew will be photographed leaving their date."
Simon glanced down at his simple jeans and T-shirt.
"I brought you different clothing options if you're interested...." I said, pulling up the black duffle.
Simon's face looked shocked, followed by a genuine smile spreading on his lips.
"Aw, you're so cute," Leah said.
"We can go to the bathroom and you can costume change," I suggested.
Simon nodded his head and followed me into the bathroom. I locked the door behind us.
"These should all be in your sizes," I said opening up the bag.
"I don't know what to pick."
"Well these blue pants are awesome, I have them in three colors."
Simon kicked off his Converse sneakers, unzipped his jeans, and stepped out of them. I took his jeans as he threw on on the blue Phoenix pants.
"They look good, now how about this green Diesel T-shirt?"
Simon let me dress him and I completed the look with a gray beanie and a pair of Prada sunglasses. I pulled on an identical pair of shades.
"Keep your Converse, they go with everything."
We returned to the table and Leah gave two thumbs up.
"Ready?" she asked, pulling on a pair of huge vintage Channel sunglasses.
"Ready," Simon said.
Leaving Yum Yum, two photographers snapped shots as we headed to Leah's Jeep and sped off towards the Shire.
