Holly slept for most of the flight, her head resting on Sebastian's shoulder. He looked down at the woman beside him, her brows furrowed in her sleep, he imagined she would be dreaming of something nice. A small strand of hair fell on her forehead, he tucked it gently behind her ear before settling down to read a few chapters of a book. Holly didn't stir when he set it back down, instead reaching for his notebook. Thoughts and ideas had been popping into his head of late, and he had a need to jot them down. They probably wouldn't see the light of day, but it was a good exercise for him. Seb and Will had been keen on starting a new project together, these notes could potentially help fuel that.

Sebastian couldn't help himself, and kept taking quick glances down at Holly's sleeping form. He smiled to himself, she looked so peaceful. Pulling out his phone, careful not to wake her, he took a sneaky picture of Holly, her lips parted as she lightly snored. Seb angles himself and pulls a funny face, whilst pretending to pick Holly's nose. He tucks his phone away, letting out a stifled yawn and settles his head against Holly's before he drifts off to sleep.

Holly opened her emails. Instructions, in relation to fiming and schedules, were due to arrive today. She sat, bobbing her leg up and down as she re-freshed her email folder. Finally there in her inbox sat the relevant information.

Holly was overwhelmed on the morning of. Sebastian had got up and sorted breakfast, trying to calm her nerves.

"You always get so nervous, but you're going to do an amazing job." He says, handing her some more toast. Today wasn't even a major day, all Holly had to do was turn up and go through fittings and a few details. Holly doesn't speak right away, her palms had become sweaty with nerves.

"I'll be alright once I get there."

"I know you will. Besides I'm coming with you." Sebastian says, rather chipper. He was excited enough for the both of them.

"Thank you. I don't know why I get so nervous."

Once Seb has dropped Holly off, he gets a frantic phone call, he was needed back on set for some re-shoots in Atlanta. He has to get the next flight out. He really wanted to stick around and spend time on set with Holly and Chris, but he had his own work commitments.

"I'm sorry, I've got to go. Have fun and enjoy this."

Holly felt deflated, but it was part of the job. "I understand." She says, giving him a tight hug goodbye. She had brought her camera along, she tucked it against her side as Seb squeezed, she had wanted to get some shots of the City alongside their shooting schedule.

"I'll call you tonight." They said there farewells.

Chris came over to retrieve Holly shortly after Seb's departure, to go through some costume options.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah, lets go."

The weeks to follow flew by quickly. Chris made sure to spend some time with Holly after shoots, they would often get dinner with each other before he took her home. Things didn't go unnoticed by the press, who wanted to know who Chris was dining with. Many headlines and rumours circled the internet, but Holly steered away from them. She had learnt not to read anything with her name involved, but sometimes she found it hard.
