Chapter 26

The next day on-set Malcolm could have told me I was the worst actress in Hollywood and I wouldn’t have cared. I was sleep-deprived but it was amazing what a night like last night did for a girl’s confidence. We flew through the day’s schedule and even Malcolm seemed surprised when we finished early.

“Well done, everyone. Well done, Chloe, good work,” he told us when we wrapped up.

Coming from him, it was rare praise indeed.

“Alright, spill,” demanded Faith as we walked back to our trailers.

“Spill what?” I replied innocently.

“Don’t make me hurt you. Why are you so happy?”

“I’m always happy.”

“Happier than usual.”

I laughed, linking arms with her. “Yes, alright. I might be a bit happier today. Gabe and I had dinner last night.”

Faith’s eyes narrowed. “It went well?”

“Very well.”

“You fucked him!”

“Faith!” I shot a desperate look around us.

“You did!”

“No, I did not—not that it’s any of your business.”

“Then why are you so happy?”

“It was a good night. You’ve been on a good date before, haven’t you?”

She huffed. “Dating’s not really my thing.”

“Well, you’ve enjoyed the company of a man before, then.”

A slow grin spread across her face. “Yeah, you could say that.”

I ignored her innuendo and decided to change the subject. Despite my brave behavior in the restaurant last night, I still wasn’t sure I was ready to talk about it to my girlfriends. “Hey, I think you left your jacket in my trailer from this morning.” We’d shared a coffee between scenes earlier and I’d spied it as I’d left my trailer before.

“I’ll grab it. Samantha’s clothes aren’t really my thing.”

I smiled. Faith’s character was a lot more prim and proper. She pulled it off well, but I had to agree—I preferred Faith’s edgier dress sense.

She followed me into my trailer and I gestured to the table. “Just over there.”

As she picked it up, I went over to my cell phone, which I’d left on the counter. I hid a grin as I spied a few messages from Gabe. There was also a message from Mama and Damon, plus a number I didn’t recognize.

I stared at the unknown series of numbers, but it was the preview of the message that caused my happiness to evaporate. It said: Attachment 1.

I hesitated. It wouldn’t be from the same person, would it?

Surely not. That had been some random person with a sick, twisted sense of fun who wanted to shock me and I hadn’t received anything since. How long had it been? Two weeks? Three?

I forced myself to breathe, easing the tightness in my chest and opened the message.

The image was grainy and dark but I could still make it out. It was Gabe and I facing each other in the doorway of the restaurant. Taken from outside. It must have been taken before we kissed. Before we . . .

“Oh my God,” I heard myself say.

Someone had been watching us. But how? Viktor had been right outside.

“What?” Faith asked as she threw the jacket over her shoulder.

I didn’t answer. My gaze dropped to the message below the image:

I know what you’ve been up to.
