misty-eyed, and I’m impressed.
    It says that my face softens and I move toward her. “I know. You’re right. I’m sorry.” The script says I’m to grab her around the waist and pull her close. The script reads that I’m supposed to kiss her with passion. Scarlett and I are the same height in our heels. “Really sorry,” I say, and kiss her.
    Scarlett takes a deep breath, surprised. I’ll admit I’m surprised too. I’ve never kissed another woman. Her lips are soft, but sticky. She’s wearing a lot of lipstick and gloss. I open her mouth and meet her tongue. I feel her hands go around my waist. Our mouths move together. I count to ten and then release her.
    Scarlett’s eyes are soft.
    “Make love to me. I need you,” I say, following the lines on the script. We’re supposed to go over to the bed and undress each other. It’s supposed to be desperate. The world is ending soon, but they have to have this moment first. Also, after they fuck, Cruze’s character realizes how he can close the portal and save the world.
    Frankly I don’t want to get naked in front of the entire crew, but I’m not going to stop if she isn’t.
    I pull Scarlett over to the bed and start to undo the buttons on the front of her dress. She moves to undo my belt and then laughs. “I can’t do this.” She looks at the light where Nigel is sitting. “Her face is covered in my red lipstick.”
    “Cut,” Nigel yells, even though the cameras weren’t even rolling.
    I yank on Scarlett, forcing her to look at me. “It isn’t the dialogue, it’s that you’re uncomfortable,” I whisper.
    She has a look on her face, like she’s about to deny it. Instead she leans in and kisses my ear. “Would you want to get naked and pretend fuck in front of all these people?”
    I kiss her neck and my hands move up and down her back. “Definitely not. You need a closed set.”
    She plants kisses along my jawline until she reaches my chin. Her features are filled with gratitude. “Can you make that happen?”
    “Of course,” I respond and step out of her embrace.

 
     
     
     
     

     
     
    While the crew sets up the scene for a closed set, I find Mindy. “Help,” I say when I see her.
    She laughs. “You’re covered in red lipstick. Sit.” She uses a round makeup pad and gently rubs the lipstick off my face and neck. “The pearls are beautiful,” she says.
    “Thanks, they’re a gift.” My eyes are closed and I’m grateful. I don’t want to have to go into an explanation.
    “From Cruze?” she asks.
    “No.”
    “Good.”
    I open my eyes and study her features. “Why good?”
    She shakes her head. “I can tell you’re a strong woman. If you have feelings for Mr. Cruze, I’ve got nothing to say about it.” She shrugs. “There’s someone for everyone, right?” Her smile is sad.
    “Sure,” I agree, seeing an opportunity to change the subject. “Did you and Lincoln have fun on your date?”
    She seems pleasantly surprised that I’m asking. “It was incredible. Like…” She trails off and fans herself. “I’m a changed girl after spending an evening with that man.”
    I watch Mindy’s face and have so many questions. I’ve always been curious about the man who does everything Zane says without the slightest variance, yet he seems to have a big heart. What kinds of hobbies does a man like him have? I can’t imagine him sitting in front of a TV drinking a beer, but he must have down time.
    “I thought he enjoyed himself too, but…” She stops and swallows. Tears line her lashes. “I haven’t heard from him in over a month. Like nothing.”
    I shake my head. “Men can be such assholes,” I say, trying to console her.
    It seems to help. She laughs. “You got that right.” Mindy applies some lotion to my face. “Thanks Cadence. I feel better.” She laughs again. “I mean not really, but I appreciate you trying to help.”
    “No problem,” I say, wishing I could do more.
    Scarlett comes over. “Mindy, fix
