The shooting started off in spring-summer after many previous meetings and unparalleled expectations in the media. After all, the book had sold millions of copies and had an army of voracious readers waiting for the result. The morbid curiosity which the novel awakened, rekindled the hope of capturing in images the suggestive scenes between Patrick and Niall.

While the shooting set off in Ireland, both Enzo and Chris had cut on a voluntary basis their sudden chemistry. Chris had spoiled everything with his attack of shyness and Enzo didn't know what to do with his feelings. They had work to do. Both of them must to rehearse and improve their Galway accent. Chris came from Liverpool and Enzo was a londoner with parsis background. Chris must dyed blond his brown hair and Enzo must to have his wavy hair trimmed. Likewise both of them ought to read at least the first book of the trilogy. They had their numbers and must trying to resume a sort of friendship between them. Without anger.

They started to maintain a relation through the phone that in spite of all, developed to a sort of very special camaraderie.

- What do you think of my accent in this phrase? -Enzo wanted to know-. Do I sound really like a good irish girl?

- You have improved a lot.

- You have quite grasped the accent. I envy you.

- You are very melodramatic and too much a perfectionist. Relax.

- We're starting in two weeks time. My teacher says that I'm hopeless with accents.

- That's a lie. I've just heard a very similar irish accent.

- I'm starting to suffer of stage fright.

- Take a deep breath. Where are you now?

- Well I'm home. I'm sitting at the kitchen table filling me with industrial bakeries.

- Really?

- Well I do. Do you think I'm disgusting?

- Do you have little crumbs around your mouth?

- Chris...

- Don't you ever doubt of yourself. I don't...

There was an evaluative silence at the other end of the telephone. Nobody said anything in seconds. Chris started to speak again.

- And now get on with the accent improvement.

- Yeah.

- And drop the industrial bakery.

- I can't promise you that.

- Do you like Patrick Burke? -Enzo asked Chris in other telephone conversation.

- Very rarely. I really hate him. And you?

- I adore him. I hate my character.

- Holy shit, what are we going to do?

- Are you worried?

- Of course not, I'm an actor.

- I have to love Niall but I hate him.

- You'll see when we have to live together every day. You'll hate me as well.

- I don't think so.

- What if the writer ask us for anything? We haven't finished the book.

- She does hate us.

- I'm sure that she'd never imagined such a handsome Patrick. Don't you think, darling?

- Tomorrow we're starting to shoot.

- Are you already in Dublin?

- Yes, we're having a meeting with Kate.
