Thirty minutes later, the meeting finally wrapped up. Ethan and Wilsmith remained in the room, still discussing details, while Anna slipped out after offering a polite goodbye.
"Phew… it's finally over," she muttered under her breath the second she stepped outside the studio. Her chest expanded with relief as if she had been holding her breath the entire time. It was suffocating enough to sit across from Fiona pretending everything was normal when all Anna wanted to do was grab her by the hair, spin her around, and launch her straight to another planet.
Sadly, she lacked those kinds of superpowers.
But then reality hit her like a hammer. She would have to see Fiona again. Not once, not twice, but almost every day now that they are cast together.
Anna groaned aloud, throwing her hands up at the sky. "Why is God so unfair to me!"
Her dramatic wail earned more than a few stares from strangers passing by.
"Why is she yelling at the sky like that?" someone whispered.
