Summer to Winter

Chapter Seven

"Miss Sarah. I totally understand. Stinky trailers are the worst. But... no, right. Yes. A nice candle will help. I will do my best. I'll try to talk the producers into buying the Joan Malone, but is there another option if they deny that request? They may not have the budget to spend that kind of money on a candle. Yes, London Peony is a delightful smell. I just think you may not spend as much time as you think in your trailer while you are at work. Yes. I will do my best..." He wasn't sure how long that phone conversation had been going, but he chuckled loudly as he looked out of the door to the office this circular one-sided conversation was coming from. It was that exact moment that Syden looked up from pounding her head on the wall and Henry looked into the dark brown eyes of his mysterious lot gps lady in red.

"Miss Sarah, I have to go now, but I will work on all of this and see you later this week... ok, bye. Yes, uh huh. K, bye!" Syden quickly hung up the phone before Sarah could ask her another question. "Hi! Sorry, was I being too loud? I'm Syden, but my friends call me Sy." She waved and walked towards the very large man standing in the hallway.

Henry watched her come out of the office. She was beautiful, different from the Hollywood wannabe starlets that he was used to. She didn't wear a stitch of make-up, maybe just mascara... there was no way her lashes were as long as they were without help. These long lashes made her dark brown eyes look huge, like an anime character, it was unbelievable. Her smile came easily and lit her face like she was glowing from the inside out. He extended his hand "I'm Henry, we spoke on the phone earlier, but I'm afraid I didn't utilize your skills as I should have. Maybe I should think of more ways to waste Brian's money."

They shook hands and laughed. Her hand felt so small is Henry's. He smiled at her and wondered how he could feel so comfortable with someone so quickly. Brian came back to his office and saw the two of them laughing. "Ah! Good! You two have had your meet-cute!" Leave it to Brian to use writer's terms to describe this moment. "Now that you two have properly met, would you like a ride back to the parking garage?"

Sy replied, "No thanks! I don't mind walking, it's a beautiful night and I've kind of missed this place."

"I'd like to walk with you, if that's all right?" Henry asked Sy.

She nodded and said "Sure, the more the merrier!" She hugged Brian goodbye and led him outside.
