  He stopped by the club—I play pretty regularly here—to rave about you. Logan even sent me several texts, he was so excited. That guy is persistent.”
    Alisa laughed.  “I know.”
    “Well, if there’s anything I know about Logan Rider, it’s that when he sets his sights on something, he usually gets it.  I’m glad you all took time out of your busy schedules to come out tonight.”
    “My pleasure. Everyone with us thinks you’re amazing.”  Alisa complimented the singer and raised her glass to her as she took another sip.
    “Logan Rider’s here?”  Another patron at the bar exclaimed. She and her girlfriends giggled and squealed.
    “Oh my God!”
    “I’m so going to marry that guy.”
    “He’s already married!”
    “He’s so hot.”
    “I heard his wife is not nice at all. She isn’t even that cute either.”
    “Hollywood marriages generally don’t last, anyway. He’ll be mine in a heartbeat.”
    What the hell? Alisa wanted to turn around and give the bimbos a piece of her mind, but she knew that this wasn’t the time for it.  She offered an embarrassed smile toward Megan and took another drink of her martini, finishing it off.
    Logan and the guys were standing in the doorway across the bar, and he waved in her direction.  She and Megan waved back, and the girls who were standing beside her were fanning themselves and swooning.
    “Don’t worry about them, sweetie.  Fans get a little outta hand sometimes and don’t even know what the hell they’re talking about. You’re a doll.”  Megan patted her on the shoulder.
    “Thanks.”
    She’d been living in LA for almost a year and figured after some time she wouldn’t be fazed by the fans, good or bad. Alisa had been hurt by the girls at the bar, though.

Chapter Four
     
    “New York City?!” The words came out louder than she expected. Alisa was in the middle of the gym doing her third mile on the elliptical when she shouted with joy.  The phone was propped up on the machine and in a video chat with Ray Day, who looked just as excited for her.
    “I know, right!”  He grinned.  
    “When did ... when did this happen? How    ?”
    “The other day. Ron told me he’d be borrowing you and Evan for the trip out to meet Jenn Vega!”
    The memory came back to her quickly, and it was like a boulder crashing down on top of her. At the meeting she had with Evan and Ron, they did mention New York City, though she must have missed the memo about the Jennifer Vega.  “Oh, that’s right.”
    Ron and the casting department had been in talks with Jennifer Vega’s agent to have her star in Gateway II as the new female lead. Jenn was an award-nominated (and winning) actress who now spent her time working as a main lead in a prime-time crime drama.  Her show was filmed in her home state of New York, so it was going to be up to the production company to fly out to meet with her to finalize the talks, as well as scout out possible film locations.  
    Then it hit her.
    “Wait, doesn’t this mean I have to go with …”
    Evan came into view on the video call, and Ray scooted out of the way.  “Me! Hey, yeah. Everything’s booked, so I hope you’ve freed up the day after the premiere. As well as the three days after that.”
    She stopped moving on the exercise machine and grabbed her phone down from the stand.  Alisa moved into the locker room and sat down before her legs gave out from under her.  “The day after the premiere? As in we’re leaving ... like tomorrow?”
    “Yes, ma’am.”
    “Great.”
    “Now don’t sound too excited.”
    Of course she was excited.  She was going to get to see the big city! Her nerves tied knots in her stomach, and she needed to take a breath and pinch herself to make sure it wasn’t some wild dream.
    “It’ll come to me.”
    “Fantastic! Make sure you’re packed, and don’t party too hard tonight.  Oh! Did you find a date for the gig tonight?”
    “Yeah, I did actually. Logan’s back in
