Chapter 12

“Did it seem like Dylan was into me?” Paige asks later that evening when we’re all just crashing in our pajamas in the hotel suite.

“I think he’s just friendly like that,” Fran says as she flips through the channels on the TV.

Paige looks unconvinced. “I don’t know…usually I have pretty good instincts about guys. It seemed like he was into me.”

“It kind of did to me too,” I admit.

Just then her phone rings and I can tell by the tone of Paige’s voice that it’s Benjamin on the other end. She starts out very cool and formal and then suddenly she’s telling him about Dylan and how great the interview went and how she thinks Dylan is “into her.”

Fran and I exchange glances, but Paige seems totally oblivious to the way she sounds as she rambles on and on about Dylan and his studio, but eventually she switches over to talking about the interview with Taylor Mitchell. “And she seems like she’s looking forward to having us stay in their apartment.” She pauses to listen and probably catch her breath. “Well, yeah, she’s hot. Maybe even better-looking in person than in print. I don’t know, Benjamin. I mean it’s not like we’re BFFs or anything.” She pauses. “Fine.” Her voice is crisp now. “I’ll ask her.” And then the conversation winds down and Paige snaps her phone closed.

“Can you believe that?” she says to us.

“What?” I ask as I flip through the photography magazine I’ve been studying.

“Benjamin wants me to arrange for him to meet Taylor Mitchell.”

I can’t help but laugh.

“What’s so funny?”

“Obviously, you couldn’t hear yourself talking to him.” I look over to Fran, but she’s engrossed in a new reality TV show.

“What do you mean?” Paige demands.

“You were going on and on about Dylan, saying how you thought he was into you and it sounded more like you were crushing on Dylan. I’m sure Benjamin was just jealous.”

Now Paige smiles…but it’s a catty smile. “You think?”

“Oh, I don’t know.” I stand and stretch. “Maybe Benjamin really does want to meet Taylor. I mean, the girl is stunning.”

Now Paige frowns and I think my work here is done. “Good night,” I say as I head off to bed.

The next day, Sunday, is officially our day off. We all sleep in until almost noon and then agree to do as we like with the remainder of the day and to reconvene for dinner in the hotel restaurant at six. Fran wants to make it an early evening so we can be fresh in the morning. “The camera crew will meet us at Marc Jacobs at nine o’clock sharp, and I want the whole thing to go as smoothly as yesterday—only with the full crew. This is a big opportunity and there’s no room for error.”

Paige tries to talk me into going shopping with her, but I beg out. “I already bought a ticket online for the MoMA,” I explain. “I’m going to take in the film exhibits and watch some trailers and things.
